Description

This book provides a comparative and historical analysis of totalitarianism and considers why Spain became totalitarian during its inquisition but not France; and why Germany became totalitarian during the previous century, but not Sweden. The author pushes the concept of totalitarianism back into the pre-modern period and challenges Hannah Arendt’s notion of the banality of evil. Instead, he presents an alternative framework that can explain why some states become totalitarian and why they induce people to commit evil acts. Review “Today, when the role of fear in keeping the population in line has been again rediscovered by different political actors, there is nothing more timely than asking new and critical questions about the dark European history. The book, a comparative historical political-sociological analysis of the history of Spain, France, Germany and Sweden, argues against the widely held belief that totalitarianism is something modern. The challenging argument of the book that totalitarianism has come about as part of a state-building strategy will help us think about what one can or cannot learn from the past.” (Andrea Pető, Professor, Central European University, Hungary) From the Back Cover This book provides a comparative and historical analysis of totalitarianism and considers why Spain became totalitarian during its inquisition but not France; and why Germany became totalitarian during the previous century, but not Sweden.
