"'Extremely penetrating analysis of human nature in politics' - The Sunday Times; 'An acute and learned study.' - The Economist"
From the Back Cover
With a new introduction by Samuel Brittan
‘Extremely penetrating analysis of human nature in politics.’ – The Sunday Times
In the summer of 1937, Europe was being torn apart by extremist ideologies. With the world on the brink of war, Bertrand Russell set out to found a ‘new science’, one which would make sense of the traumatic events of the day and offer an explanation for those that would follow. The result was Power, a remarkable book which Russell regarded as one of the most important of his long career. Power is a passionate call for independence of mind and a celebration of the instinctive joy of human life. First published: 1960.
