Book Reviews of The Captive Mind
Book Review: A Captivating Book
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent, if short, book analyzing artisan associates of the author who make conversions, adaptions, and protestations to the Communist regime. Those who don't die by suicide or execution tend to become cynics, knowing they mouth hollow phrases for a corrupt regime and receive undeserved praise for crud they produce because they've either lost the ability to produce deserving work or such work would be reactionary.
