I read this in college in a class called "The Leader and the Led". It remains the best college class I have ever taken, it really made you think. The instructor was a German ex-patriot who survived a childhood during the Nazi regime. Unfortunately, he would have been labelled a "liberal" by our jaded journalists, even though we read books that shed an equally bad light on communism as part of the class.

That sounds like quite a class. I read it years ago just cause I like sf.
