Ayn Rand chose Leonard Peikoff to be her successor as the spokesman for
Objectivism. 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. 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. 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.
