This book examines works of four German-Jewish scholars who, in
their places of exile, sought to probe the pathology of the Nazi
mind: Wilhelm Reich's The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933), Erich
Fromm's Escape from Freedom (1941), Siegfried Kracauer's From
Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of the German Film
(1947), and Erich Neumann's Depth Psychology and a New Ethic
(1949). While scholars have examined these authors' individual
legacies, no comparative analysis of their shared concerns has yet
been undertaken, nor have the content and form of their
psychological inquiries into Nazism been seriously and
systematically analyzed. Yet, the sense of urgency in their works
calls for attention. They all took up their pens to counter Nazi
barbarism, believing, like the English jurist and judge Sir William
Blackstone, who wrote in 1753 - scribere est agere ("to write is to
act").
