A recognized classic and definitive account of its subject, The Origins of Totalitarianism traces the emergence of modern racism as an "ideological weapon for imperialism," begining with the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe in the nineteenth century and continuing through the New Imperialism period from 1884 to World War I.
In her analysis of the institutions and operations of totalitarian movements, Arendt focuses on the two genuine forms of totalitarian government in the twentieth century: Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, which she adroitly recognizes as two sides of the same coin rather than opposing philosophies of the Right and Left. From this vantage point, she discusses the transformation of classes into masses, the role of propaganda, and the use of terror essential to this form of government. In her brilliant concluding chapter, she discusses the nature of individual isolation and loneliness as preconditions for total domination.

Enormt intressant om man vill ha en bakgrund till vår tid och varför Europa ser ut osom det gör. Väldigt grundlig, tidvis låmgramdig men väldigt angelägen. Gör att man vill ta del av fler av Hannah Atendts verk.

One can only wish that desis who have become fanboys of the Hindutva neoliberal regime and prefer to read Mein Kampf of Hitler have some sanity, sense and time to read this one. It will show them that their Supreme Leader is merely reproducing the same Totalitarian regime which was there in Nazi Germany and Soviet under Stalin.

It's a great book showing how the origins of totalitarianism came to be. It's a little dry sometimes but still makes for a great listen.

A classic. Unfortunately relevant again in our time. How totalitarian states create a world in which there is no truth, everything is a lie and the only truth is showing that you adhere to whatever lie the state currently promotes.

Good book, but you need a very good understanding of 19th and 20th century European history to understand much of it
