“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.

ReviewsPraise for The Ominous Parallels : "[ The Cause of Hitler's Germany ] offers a truly revolutionary idea…The book is clear, tight, disciplined, beautifully structured, and brilliantly reasoned. Its style is clear and hard as crystaland as sparkling…As to my personal reaction, I can express it best by paraphrasing a line from Atlas Shrugged : 'It's so wonderful to see a great, new, crucial achievement which is not mine!'" Ayn Rand "Extraordinarily perceptive…frightening insights…Everyone concerned with the collectivist trend in today's world should read this book." Alan Greenspan "A fascinating weave of German history, philosophic determinism, and Objectivist polemic."

  • Hitler's Germany/Hillary's America

    Hillary Clinton seems to be following everything that led up to Hitler's Germany. Our country is being sold out by Obama, the Clintons, and the democrat.
