The fact that it is based on a true experiment is staggering: you can't help but think of the mob mentality, the teacher's drunken power at a given moment, the few resisting students, the strenght of the group. And it is a question I myself had asked already: how could so many soldiers follow Hitler's awful cruelty?
Worth the reflection it provides.
Every time I re read it it reveals a new facet.
