About the book
A journalistic investigation into Muzafer Sherif's infamous psychological experiment, conducted in 1954, which brought together groups of boys at a camp to study intergroup conflict. Gina Perry re-examines this classic social science study, revealing how what was presented as neutral scientific discovery was actually manipulated and distorted.
The book questions the integrity of scientific research, ethics in experimental psychology, and how powerful narratives can obscure the truth—offering an important reassessment of a pillar of psychology's history.
