  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;Generally regarded as the definitive work on totalitarianism, this book is an essential component of any study of twentieth-century political movements. Arendt was one of the first to recognize that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were two sides of the same coin rather than opposing philosophies of Right and Left. &amp;#8220;With the Origins of Totalitarianism Hannah Arendt emerges as the most original and profound-therefore the most valuable-political theoretician of our times&amp;#8221; (New Leader). Index.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I like to underline important passages when I read, especially philosophical/sociological landmarks like this.  But a few pages in I realized that I was just underlining everything.  This is truly one of the densest, most well-written and well-argued books I've ever read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I did not finish this book, but what I read blew me away. The way it explores how we give in to Totalitarianism, the horror of the human truth that she confronts amazed me. I just think I was not ready to finish it, and it was not an easy beach reading:)]]></body>
