About the Author: Leonard Peikoff is the preeminent Ayn Rand scholar writing today.
Here is a frightening look at where America may be heading, a clarion call for all who are concerned about preserving our right to individual freedom.
Self-sacrifice, Oriental mysticism, racial "truth," the public good, doing one\'s duty--these are among the seductive catch-phrases that Leonard Peikoff dissects, examining the kind of philosophy they symbolize, the type of thinking that lured Germany to its doom and that he says is now prevalent in the United States.
And in this brilliantly reasoned, thought-provoking work we learn why, as he demonstrates how far America has been detoured from its original path and led down the same road that Germany followed to Nazism.
