Leonard Peikoff

The Cause of Hitler's Germany Leonard Peikoff

“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.
