A part of Harper Perennial’s special “Resistance Library” highlighting classic works that illuminate the “Age of Trump”: A boldly packaged reissue of the classic examination of dangerous nationalist political movements.

“Its theme is political fanaticism, with which it deals severely and brilliantly.”    —New Yorker
