Book Review: Perhaps History Can Turn Our Heads
Summary: 5 Stars
There is of course nothing that I can add to the acclamations of the New York Times, the New Leader, and H. Stuart Hughes.
This book makes it clear that for totalitarianism to occur, there must first exist a combination of bourgouisie political power lacking the sense of duty required or the old nobility, a propaganda system reinforced by an arrogant intellectual community, and an alienated mass culture demanding "change".
These elements were present in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. Now, with the complicity of both political parties in the deconstruction of our culture, the stage appears to be set in America.
Summary of The Origins of Totalitarianism
Generally regarded as the definitive work on totalitarianism, this book is an essential component of any study of twentieth-century political movements. Arendt was one of the first to recognize that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were two sides of the same coin rather than opposing philosophies of Right and Left. “With the Origins of Totalitarianism Hannah Arendt emerges as the most original and profound-therefore the most valuable-political theoretician of our times” (New Leader).
