The captive mind

Trama

In the 1950's Eastern Europe was in the grip of Stalinism; still, many Western intellectuals mistakenly placed their hopes in the new world in the East. That time is now past, yet totalitarian thinking, whether of the left or the right, exerts -- and will continue to exert -- a powerful attraction on the minds of men.
