Edited by two titans of twentieth-century political science, the volume chronicles the rise of coercive ideological systems — most notably Nazism and Soviet Communism — dissecting the mechanisms by which fanatical minorities impose their will upon entire societies and reshape the world order.\n\nThe collection uncovers the shared structural patterns beneath ostensibly opposed revolutionary movements, arguing that coercion, propaganda, and elite coordination are the true engines of totalitarian transformation. Lasswell and Lerner assemble a formidable array of scholarly perspectives that illuminate the psychology and sociology of power, drawing on empirical research to ground what might otherwise remain abstract theory. A foundational text in political science and elite theory, this volume remains as unsettling as it is indispensable — because the forces it dissects have never truly disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130720231643,"sku":"2026100008127-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/99bdaaca-1132-4793-b09c-0b36b872e76a.png?v=1786589254","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008127-secondhand-world-revolutionary-elites-studies-in-coercive-ideological-movements","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
