The Origins of Totaltarianism

This book, by Hannah Arendt, is a masterpiece. One can hardly believe that English was her second language, and America was her second country. 

Equally, it is obvious that she was Jewish, and smart. 

I have another Arendt book The Hannah Arendt Reader, which has a critical review of Origins, which I can recommend.

It's easier to read than she is.
