New York: Stein and Day, 1982 near fine book in unclipped dust jacket, cloth spine, x 383pp. hint of spotting to closed edges, introduction by Ayn Rand. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7? - 9? tall.
Synopsis
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.
