Totalitarianism, Terrorism and Supreme Values

“An extraordinary piece of research that not only is pleasant to read, but—more important—offers content that should be carefully studied by academics—both lecturers and students—, policy makers and by any responsible citizen who wants to be fully aware of the menaces that threaten democracies. … All in all, the book is highly recommended reading … .” (Thomas Baumert, Constitutional Political Economy, Vol. 32, 2021)

“Bernholz describes supreme-value ideologies that have existed over the ages. He stays literally close to home in describing the supreme values of Adolf Hitler and German National Socialist ideology. … This book is necessary reading for researchers of defense strategy and the economics of defense, but above all for the politicians and administrators to whom we entrust our safety.” (Arye L. Hillman, Public Choice, July, 2018)

“... besticht vor allem durch seinen ungeheuren Reichtum an Details der totalitären Kulturen (oder Unkulturen). Dem Leser wäre die Orientierung erleichtert, enthielte das Buch ein Namensverzeichnis, das mit wenig Zusatzaufwand hätte erstellt werden können. Alles in allem wird das Buch sehr zur Lektüre empfohlen.” (Charles B. Blankart, in: ORDO, Jg. 68, Heft 1, 24. April 2
