Description

The Cause of Hitler's Germany by Leonard Peikoff A thought-provoking exploration of the philosophical and ideological underpinnings of Nazi Germany, this book examines the role of unreason and collectivism in the rise of the Nazi regime. Peikoff, a long-time associate of Ayn Rand, presents a compelling argument that the seductive ideas of self-sacrifice, Oriental mysticism, and racial "truth" played a significant role in shaping the seemingly civilized German society into a Nazi state. Through a clear and disciplined analysis, Peikoff sheds light on the intellectual and philosophical currents that contributed to the downfall of German society, offering a valuable insight into the nature of collectivism and its dangers.
