248pp. Laminated card covers (just a little rubbed at edges). Looks at the variety of ways in which we appear to learn about good and evil arguing that in the family, school, workplace and media we are being relentlessly schooled in a particular way of seeing, thinking and behaving and that the choice between heroism and villainy is illusionary. Schostak argues that this has been recently demonstrated in the experience of the Gulf War, but that it is equally visible in the attacks on social welfare and education in both the US and Europe.
