In the half-century since the appearance of Hannah Arendt's seminal work The Origins of Totalitarianism , innumerable historians have detailed the history of the Nazi years. Now, in a brilliant synthesis of this work, Enzo Traverso situates the extermination camps as the final, terrible moment in European modernity's industrialization of killing and dehumanization of death. Traverso upends the conventional presentation of the Holocaust as an inexplicable anomaly, navigating an excess of antecedents both technical and cultural. Deftly tracing a complex lineage-the guillotine and machine gun, the prison and assembly line, as well as widespread ideologies of racial supremacy and colonial expansion-Traverso reveals that the ideas that coalesced at Auschwitz came from Europe's mainstream and not its margins.

Seller's Description:
Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper. 22x15cm, vi, 200 pp., Translated by Janet Lloyd. Includes bibliographical references (p. 167-186) and index. Contents: Discipline, Punishing, Killing; Conquest; Destruction: Total War; Classification and Repression; Extermination: Nazi Anti-Semitism; Conclusion. ["Despite the range of detailed histories on the Holocaust, there have been few attempts to trace the ideological and historical background of what is, for many, the defining event of the 20th century. In this successor to Hannah Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism", Traverso rejects the belief that the Holocaust was an historical aberration, completely outside the trajectory of Western civilization. Looking at innovations such as the guillotine and the machine gun, and institutions such as assembly lines and prisons, the author sets out to demonstrate that the Holocaust was the culmination of Western liberal thought"-Publisher's description]
