The Crooked Timber of Humanity: Chapters in the History of Ideas, Second Edition Second edition with a New foreword by John Banvil edition
Isaiah Berlin
Exposes the links between the ideas of the past and the social and political cataclysms of our own time: between the Platonic belief in absolute truth and the lure of authoritarianism; and between the eighteenth-century reactionary ideologue Joseph de Maistre and twentieth-century Fascism.
