Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A wry, entertaining study of the history of blame.Trenchantly sardonic."---"Kirkus Reviews"

"The book gives a great deal of insight without plowing through tedious jargon. It does more than give us good water cooler or dinner conversational tidbits--it makes us stop and examine our all-too-human but non-productive tendency to find someone or something to blame."---"Saturday Evening Post"

null---"Library Journal"

"It all started with Eve, Charlie Campbell astutely notes in his alternately amusing and dismaying history of blaming the other guy (or gal)."---"Globe and Mail"

Reseña del editor:

Charlie Campbell highlights the plight of all those others who have found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, illustrating how God needs the Devil as Sherlock Holmes needs Professor Moriarty or James Bond needs "Goldfinger." Scapegoat is a tale of human foolishness that exposes the anger and irrationality of blame-mongering while reminding readers of their own capacity for it. From medieval witch burning to reality TV, this is a brilliantly relevant and timely social history that looks at the obsession, mania, persecution and injustice of scapegoating.
