I'm glad you read it. I just started "The Closing of the American Mind," by Allan Bloom. I started with the Introduction and I was astonished at how spot on his analysis was. I hadn't looked to see when this book was published and was surprised to see he wrote it in 1987. I am reading it slowly because each sentence is laden with meaning. I find I am having to go back, re-read and then think about it.
Mattias Desmet's book, "The Psychology of Totalitarianism" is a must read.
I just read it. Everybody should!
