The Milgram Experiment AudioBook Summary
“Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?” (Stanley Milgram)
The human psyche is one of the most complex, unpredictable, enigmatic, and therefore riveting phenomena in existence, one that psychologists have been working on deciphering since the dawn of modern science.
