Publisher's Synopsis
What are the reasons for the decline of our culture?
Have you ever considered the metaphysics of murder?
Or what drives doctors to work for dictators?
Theodore Dalrymple has.
He has spent a lifetime observing it close-up and personal as an inner-city GP and prison psychiatrist. In Nothing But Wickedness he looks at the things that make us behave the way we do, and all the subtle ways in which we delude ourselves and destroy our own culture.
He shows that the only way to stay sane, is to stay curious.
