The Cause of Hitler's Germany -- Leonard Peikoff, Paperback

"A truly revolutionary idea... Clear, tight, disciplined, beautifully structured, and brilliantly reasoned."--Ayn Rand

Self-sacrifice, Oriental mysticism, racial "truth," the public good, doing one's duty--these are among the seductive catchphrases that circulated in pre-Nazi Germany. Objectivist author and philosopher Leonard Peikoff was Ayn Rand's long-time associate. In The Cause of Hitler's Germany--previously published in The Ominous Parallels--Peikoff demonstrates how unreason and collectivism led the seemingly civilized German society to become a Nazi regime.
