‘The political theorist who wrote about the Nazis and the “banality of evil” has become a surprise bestseller’ Guardian. Hannah Arendt’s landmark study examines how propaganda, scapegoating, terror, and political isolation conspired to produce the Nazi and Soviet totalitarian regimes — and why the freedoms we take for granted are far more fragile than we assume. Called ‘a non-fiction bookend to Nineteen Eighty-Four’ by The New York Times, this chilling warning from history has lost none of its urgency. As the Washington Post puts it: ‘How could such a book speak so powerfully to our present moment? The short answer is that we, too, live in dark times.’
