The best-known prose work by the winner of the 1980 Nobel Prize for Literature examines the moral and intellectual conflicts faced by men and women living under totalitarianism of the left or right.
Written in the early 1950s, when Eastern Europe was in the grip of Stalinism and many Western intellectuals placed their hopes in the new order of the East, this classic work reveals in fascinating detail the often beguiling allure of totalitarian rule to people of all political beliefs and its frightening effects on the minds of those who embrace it.

His Tales, related in the most personal of stories, are of Men forced to surrender to these Options. That’s what makes this a Horror Story. And one that any one of us, sitting comfortably and unwittingly in a Western Democracy should listen to with very close attention.
The Captive Mind is a “This Can Happen Here” story and one that is so timely in 2023. We have seen how thin the strand that held American Liberal Democracy together in the face of Ignorance, Racism and Hate was in 2020. And how powerfully its Narcissistic, Anarchic Christian Nationalism Head might rear itself up in 2024. Milosz wrote after the Rise of Hitler and Stalin but we have seen their rise and fall as well as the tragedies of Mao, Castro, Xi, and so many others following their Playbook.
This book is for anyone who treasures the Values of the Enlightenment, Reason, and Liberal Democracy and would like to maintain a Mind that can enjoy a Life guided by them. Milosz has shown us Life on the other Side of the Coin. Think Donald Drumpf and Steve Bannon. Let’s not go there. Four Stars. ****
