About This Item
A perennially popular work of social psychology that, in the past few years, has reputedly described the Occupy movement, the Tea Party, Trump's popular base (by Hillary Clinton), the 9/11 terrorists, and all sorts of other groups across the political spectrum. It remains in print. That it was written by a San Francisco longshoreman with no higher education is remarkable.
