Description
This collection of studies by Dr. Hannah Arendt offers a thought-provoking analysis of the crises of the 1960s and early 1970s from a political philosopher's perspective. The book begins with "Lying in Politics," a penetrating examination of the role of image-making and public relations in politics, as seen in the Pentagon Papers.
Through connected essays, Dr. Arendt examines and clarifies the concerns of the American citizen of the time, including opposition movements such as the Freedom Riders and war resisters, and the role of civil disobedience in shaping public opinion.
Part of a broader commentary on politics and revolution, this work provides a unique insight into the key issues of the era, as Dr. Arendt reflects on the relationship between politics, violence, and social change.
