Something about the book totally trips my bullshitometer. That thesis doesn’t sound right to me. Hitler’s antisemitism was never unique or synthetic. It was born out of the time and place in which he lived. Turning Hitler into a Hobbesian is almost giving him far too much credit. It’s also not a theory or idea unique to Hitler even if true (without specific regard to the more antisemitic parts.)
I wonder what @mindysan33 would make of this.
ETA: Haven’t read the book - of course, this is based on the article linked.
