"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.
