A World History of Evil
From Judas to Trump, historian and researcher Fabrice d’Almeida, Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by appointment of the French Ministry of Culture, guides us through a gallery of dark figures who have shaped history.
What role did some of humanity’s most famous and monstrous figures play over three millennia—Nero the poisoner; Attila, the Scourge of God; Torquemada, the relentless inquisitor; Bathory, infamous for her blood baths? All this, of course, without overlooking or contextualising the great genocidal dictators of the 20th century. Murderers, tyrants, manipulators, rapists: they all altered the course of history.
A World History of Evil reveals the psychology of these men and women, contextualising them within the morality of their respective times, and shows us how the violence of these “evil geniuses” left deep scars on the world.
A journey to the frontiers of morality that confronts us with darkness—so that we may understand it and, perhaps, combat it. An investigation that delves into the heart of human darkness.
