Product Description
Review
"'Almost alone among contemporary critics, Tzvetan Todorov has chosen to apply his prodigious talents to the literature of twentieth-century totalitarianism. His unique gift is his ability to elucidate the memoirs and writings of some of the century's greatest survivors, not merely discovering their literary qualities, but also finding in their works moral and political lessons, relevant to us all.' Anne Applebaum, author of Gulag"
Daniel Johnson, Daily Telegraph
‘An admirably clear exposition of totalitarianism.’

Format:Paperback
I found this an absorbing account of 20th century ideological follies and admirably objective in its appraisal of communism vs fascism. It wanders off slightly towards the end into a critique of liberal interventionism, esp. in the former Yugoslavia, which although instructive to people like me who never quite understood what those late 20th century wars were all about, doesn't really back up his argument against totalitarianism. Surely it was the very downfall of totalitarianism and the rise of democracies in the Balkans that re-ignited all those ethnic tensions?
