Three books that tell us more about ourselves than we wish to admit. Hanna Arendt and the Origins of Totalitarianism, the recently published book "the psychology of totalitarianism" by Mattias Desmet, and the 1992 book "Ordinary Men" by Christopher Browning. Jung's theory of the shadow in us all, on display. How do we control our monsters within if we do not admit our reality. Know thyself, to know.
