Lots of good information, got a little lost in some of it. Interestingly, I had a hard time finding this on Goodreads. Could be my own search deficits, but it is a criticism of Amazon, among other things. |

"This book is really two books: a philosophical theory of crime and a Western-Civ-101 version of criminal history. The first section was heavy on theory and light on facts. I was initially intrigued by Wilson's gleanings from criminal psychology, but "

Nandakishore Mridula's review
of
A Criminal History of Mankind:
"Readable but rambling - seems to lack a point. This is Wilson entertaining you after dinner in his own idiosyncratic fashion."

| Not what I expected, it's basically an extraordinarily long opinion essay written using information and ideas from many, many sources. As such, it's informed and rich with detail, but the conclusions drawn (and presented matter of factly as just the ...more | |

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

“Now imperfections and venial sins cannot take away the life of grace, for that can only be lost by mortal sin; it only remains, then, that they should not cause us to lose courage. Deliver me, O Lord, said David, from pusillanimity and discouragement. It is a happy condition for us in this warfare, that we shall always be victorious, provided that we are willing to fight.”
