What people are saying
"The Origins of Totalitarianism does not contain a set of policy prescriptions, or directions on how to fix things. Instead it offers...ways to think about the lure of autocracy and the seductive appeal of its proponents as we grapple with them in our own time."
"The American power elite needs this book, because, in so many ways, so many sections of it are sleepwalking us all into fascism."
"We now need to... reflect on the developments of the ‘20s and the ‘30s, and reflect on the nature of, again, how these regimes came to power... so many of the things which she was writing about... I think, are really giving us important insights into our contemporary regime."
Praise for this book
"The work of one who has thought as well as suffered . . . A disquieting, moving, and thought-provoking book." -- New York Times Book Review
"How could such a book speak so powerfully to our present moment? The short answer is that we, too, live in dark times, even if they are different and perhaps less dark, and Origins raises a set of fundamental questions about how tyranny can arise and the dangerous forms of inhumanity to which it can lead." -- Jeffrey C. Isaac, Washington Post
