If you want concise insight into what drives the mind of the fanatic and the dynamics of a mass movement at their most primal level, may I suggest an evening with Eric Hoffer., The True Believer glitters with icy wit. . . bristles with deadly parallels. . . . It is a harsh and potent mental tonic., Hoffer has outlined a remarkably clear and suggestive theory about the kind of social change he sums up as 'mass movements,' supplied concrete illustrative materials drawn from a wide historical range, and put them together in a brief, readable, and provocative book., [Hoffer] is a student of extraordinary perception and insight. The range of his reading and research is vast, amazing. He has written one of the most provocative books of our immediate day., Its theme is political fanaticism, with which it deals severely and brilliantly. . . . It owes its distinction to the fact that Hoffer is a born generalizer, with a mind that inclines to the wry epigram and icy aphorism as naturally as did that of the Duc de La Rochefoucauld., This brilliant and original inquiry into the nature of mass movements is a genuine contribution to our social thought.

Synopsis
A stevedore on the San Francisco docks in the 1940s, Eric Hoffer wrote philosophical treatises in his spare time while living in the railroad yards. The True Believer - the first and most famous of his books - was made into a bestseller when President Eisenhower cited it during one of the earliest television press conferences.Completely relevant and essential for understanding the world today, The True Believer is a visionary, highly provocative look into the mind of the fanatic and a penetrating study of how an individual becomes one., " Eric Hoffer] is a student of extraordinary perception and insight. The range of his reading and research is vast, amazing. The True Believer is] one of the most provocative books of our immediate day."-- Christian Science Monitor The famous bestseller with "concise insight into what drives the mind of the fanatic and the dynamics of a mass movement" ( Wall St. Journal ) by Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Eric Hoffer, The True Believer is a landmark in the field of social psychology, and even more relevant today than ever before in history. Called a "brilliant and original inquiry" and "a genuine contribution to our social thought" by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., The True Believer is mandatory reading for anyone interested in the machinations by which an individual becomes a fanatic., "Its theme is political fanaticism, with which it deals severely and brilliantly." --New Yorker The famous bestseller with "concise insight into what drives the mind of the fanatic and the dynamics of a mass movement" (Wall Street Journal) by the legendary San Francisco longshoreman.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.

  • Understanding fanaticism.

    An excellent book and a required read in 1969 when I went to university. If you want to understand how ideology can manipulate people and affect and change a people, their social an political systems, this book will explain the basics and more.

  • Ever thus it was so.

    In all the recorded history of human behavior time after time people think a leader has all the answers to their problems and they fall into a form of mass hysteria and follow their new deliverer blindly into terrible events.
