The best book I've ever read that deals with the topic of evil is M. Scott Peck's People of the Lie. He covers types of evil that he's encountered as a psychologist including evil that is induced by upbringing and neglect as well as what he considers to be pure evil.
If I recall correctly (it's been a few years) previous to writing the book, he did not believe in a personification of evil, e.g., the devil. After researching the book and studying more cases, he came to believe. It is largely because of this book and Peck's credentials that I myself have come to believe in a real evil intelligence.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." – C. S. Lewis
