?Miller thoroughly examines the controversies inspired by the late
Stanley Milgrim's obedience experiments. He begins with a
systematic review of the Milgram series, and some extensitons and
replications of these experiments. The most basic and familiar
finding is that ordinary people will attempt to administer severe
electrial shocks to others if so instructed by an authority figure
perceived to be legitimate. Miller next reviews challenges and
defenses of the ethics of such deceptive and hupothetically
traumatizing experiments. he then considers critiques of Milgrim's
methodology, especially in terms of its external validity. Finally
the book addresses the controversial claim that these experiments
help explain the Nazi Holocaust, and that they have disturbing
implications for the understanding of human nature....The
significance of the controversies examined, renders this work an
important addition to social science collections and a companion
volume to Milgram's own Obedience to Authority. Upper-division
undergraduates and above.?-Choice
