The origins of totalitarianism - Hannah Arendt

'How could such a book speak so powerfully to our present moment? The short answer is that we, too, live in dark times' Washington Post

Hannah Arendt's chilling analysis of the conditions that led to the Nazi
and Soviet totalitarian regimes is a warning from history about the
fragility of freedom, exploring how propaganda, scapegoats, terror and
political isolation all aided the slide towards total domination.
