About this book

"He has grasped the falsity of the hedonistic attitude to life." Orwell read Hitler—and believed him. In this blistering review from 1940, he lays out what most of polite society refused to face: that Hitler’s appeal wasn’t madness, but meaning. Not policy, but myth. While the democracies offered comfort and reason, Hitler offered blood, struggle, and the poetry of power—and people listened.
