This book ties together a number of loose ends brought out by various studies of the modern syndrome of totalitarianism. There have been a number of important, in- depth contributions to the study by such luminaries as Talmon, Brezinski, and Arendt. However, this field still lacks a focus as to the unusual nature of this modern phenomenon. The authors purport to bring various observations of the world of totalitarianism into a pattern which demonstrates a commonality, a development not generally seen. Actually, the study of totalitarianism as such is new to the academic field. Until just recently most writers were content to place totalitarianism in the same category as the studies of authoritarianism and pre-World War I dictatorships. Only slowly was it realized by a very few that what was being dealt with in Nazism and modern Communism was something to a great extent unique and required a different focus of observation and understanding. This book demonstrates that the content of much of what has already been written by the few who have seen the extraordinary in the modern totalitarian sequence points to a common foundation, syndrome, and echology.

In search of the republic: Public virtue and the roots of American government

U.S.A.: Rowman & Littlefield Inc

When In Search of the Republic was originally published in 1987, scholarly interpretations of the concept of virtue in the American founding were considered peripheral to mainstream political theory. Since then, the authors' arguments that public virtue, civic responsibility, and private morality were at the heart of the Founding Fathers' political thought is now accepted by a growing number of contemporary political theorists. This revised edition includes a new preface that places In Search of the Republic within the context of contemporary debates over the role of virtue and religion in early American political discourse. This is a superb introduction for students and scholars interested in learning about the moral, political, and constitutional theories of the Founding Fathers.

"Orrin Hatch's story is intimately entwined with some of the most critical events at one of the most crucial times in our nation's history. The real question is not whether this or that program is enacted into law, or whether the budget total is $10 billion one way or the other. The fact is that the people of the United States are dangerously close to losing control of their political system. A citadel of power sits astride the Washington scene, often impervious to the genuine needs and desires of the American people. Energized and supported by the vast resources of government in a milieu of false political ideology and crass self-interest, it is glamorized be a sensation-seeking and sometimes irresponsible press." - from the Preface --- This book is the story of that citadel of power and of one Senator's response to it.
