"He has grasped the falsity of the hedonistic attitude to life."
Orwell read Hitler-and believed him. In this blistering review from 1940, he lays out what most of polite society refused to face: that Hitler's appeal wasn't madness, but meaning. Not policy, but myth. While the democracies offered comfort and reason, Hitler offered blood, struggle, and the poetry of power-and people listened.
