"Since its first publication in 1951, when it was hailed as a monumental study which blazes new trails in the investigation of prejudice, this book has remained an essential document for the modern world. Written after the single most evil and deliberate act of the century, it undertook the challenging task of determining scientifically what personality traits characterized the phenomenom of authoritarianism and what internal and external forces allowed for its development."
