EditionBy PETER F.DRUCKER  \nWhen this book frst came out,in 1939—thirty long yearsago—it was shockingly unconventional and heretical.Itwas,of course,by no means alone in its uncompromisingrejection of the totalitarian creeds,or even in its firmconviction that Nazism was pure evil sans qualificationor extenuation.But the other books—and there were hun-dreds of them—all explained away Hitler in those yearsbefore World War II.They either came up with somepseudo-history of Nazism as a “manifestation of Germannational character,\"or they depicted Nazism(andFascism)as the “dying gasp of capitalism,”with Marx-ist socialism as the coming saviour.In this book,how-ever,the “national-character”explanation is dismissedas intellectually shoddy;national character or nationalhistory may explain how a people does things,but notwhat things it does.This book rather diagnosed Nazism—and Fascism—as a pervasive sickness of the Europeanbody politic.And instead of proclaiming Marxism as thecoming saviour,I asserted that the total failure ofMarxism had been a main reason for the flight ofEurope's masses into the fervency of totalitarian despair.These views,and the conclusions to which they led,","cbCaiobBr6ZMkTaz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiobBr6ZMkTaz","pdf",12107665,312,"English","# Preface to 1969 Edition\n## Context of 1939 publication\n## Critique of competing explanations\n##
