The Ominous Parallels

"The Ominous Parallels" is a book by Leonard Peikoff that examines similarities between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. It highlights how both regimes used propaganda, censorship, and state control to suppress individual freedoms, manipulate public perception, and maintain power. Peikoff warns that these methods can reappear in different forms, urging vigilance against government overreach and the erosion of personal liberties. The book emphasizes understanding these historical patterns to prevent history from repeating itself and to safeguard individual rights in modern society.
