Summary
"On the Southern border of the United States in 2018, the decision was made to implement a separation policy among refugees and migrant families arriving at the border -- and so a group of government employees left their homes, bidding farewell to their families as they went to work, and began to separate hundreds of children from their families, forcefully taking them to holding centres. Developing Hannah Arendt's analysis of the banality of evil, The Path to Mass Evil demonstrates how the most educated, sophisticated, and advanced societies in human history have the potential to turn into an enormous killing machine, implementing mass murder on a vast scale"-- Provided by publisher.
