You've heard of the "Great Books"? These are their evil opposites. From Machiavelli's The Prince to Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto to Alfred Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, these "influential" books have led to war, genocide, totalitarian oppression, family breakdown, and disastrous social experiments. And yet these authors' bad ideas are still popular and pervasive-in fact, they might influence your own thinking without your realizing it. Here with the antidote is Professor Benjamin Wiker. In his scintillating new book, '10 Books That Screwed Up the World: And 5 Others That Didn't Help', he seizes each of these evil books by its malignant heart and exposes it to the light of day. In this witty, learned, and provocative expose, you'll learn: -Why Machiavelli's 'The Prince' was the inspiration for a long list of tyrannies (Stalin had it on his nightstand) Witty, shocking, and instructive,'10 Books That Screwed Up the World' offers a quick education on the worst ideas in human history-and how we can avoid them in the future. Poster Comment: This book. GET IT. (although frankly, it's far too late to "avoid" the aftermath of the institutional sociopaths and insane who now run this world.) Been wondering how this culture, our schools, politicians and Media EVER began accepting and sanctioning evil over good? Insanity over sanity? Have turned our world of morality and ethics upside down? Been wondering how universities and Hollywood were EVER allowed to teach subversion and lies -- and make it seem "normal"? How the type of hateful, counter-intuitive politics that the Democrats routinely support have EVER seen the light of day? Here's a yuge advantage of reading this book: The author has already painstakingly read, critiqued and summarized the "highlights" and its respective 400+ year long message of subterfuge, deception that "normalizes" evil and packs it in these series of "manuals." So now you are able to blow through 15 of the books that have most influenced Democrats, Liberals, Leftist, too many gummint drones in general, BLM, Antifa, the NEA, "Nasty-Women," University-types, and Hollywood-types -- i.e. serial psychopaths, sociopaths, and demon-possessed. For what it's worth, the comments at Amazon are a hoot. Liberal and Commies are screeching bloody h*ll, having had their cover blown.

-How Hobbes's Leviathan led to the belief that we have a "right" to whatever we want
-Why Marx and Engels's Communist Manifesto could win the award for the most malicious book ever written
-How Darwin's Descent of Man proves he intended "survival of the fittest" to be applied to human society
-How Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil issued the call for a world ruled solely by the "will to power"
-How Hitler's Mein Kampf was a kind of "spiritualized Darwinism" that accounts for his genocidal anti-Semitism

Haven't read all of those books, but if they're anything like Hitler's Mein Kampf and Marx's Communist Manifesto, both of which I've read, I'll have to go along with you. Hitler is the third Reign (reich) of pagan Rome or the third six of the 666 trilogy. Marx and communist-era Moscow are the Great Whore of the great tribulation known as WW II that sits on 7 hills and many waters (5 seas). IMHO, The rest of those 10 authors are merely little whores in comparison.
Yes, those two are there as mentioned. The author manages to tie ALL of them together; Without Machiavelli's 'The Prince' there likely is no 'Mein Kampf' or Marx's 'Communist Manifesto'. That's the great thing about reading this one book; Within 15 pages or so, the essence of every one of these entire subversive tomes are "read," dissected and summarized. Hitler is the third Reign (reich) of pagan Rome or the third six of the 666 trilogy. Marx and communist-era Moscow are the Great Whore of the great tribulation known as WW II that sits on 7 hills and many waters (5 seas). IMHO, The rest of those 10 authors are merely little whores in comparison. They are all the Devil's Work.
Well, I have also read Machiavelli's The Price, but about 50 years ago for college. I got an A on my paper and wish I still had it because now I'm having trouble recalling what I wrote (that's called getting old). Anyhow I think my conclusion was some of what he wrote is true. Sometimes, you do have to use (military) force. As for the other books, I dont think I would ever read them, because I'm a pretty busy dude, and I already have a bunch of books that I haven't read yet because there's just not enough hours in the day.
It'd be amazing to read your impressions, analysis and state of mind on The Prince from 50years ago. An "A" then? Yes, back when the teachers weren't overt Leftists who now grade with an agenda. Anyhow I think my conclusion was some of what he wrote is true. Sometimes, you do have to use (military) force. Fair point. The argument switches gears into: "Is there such a thing as a 'Righteous War'?" Answer: YES. The Bible is rife with such cases. David v Goliath an obvious case. Machiavelli's philosophy was that of subterfuge, deception, and evil intent in the name of power. He'd rationalize the slaughter of human beings...just for kicks. (He'd say "punish them. They deserved it because they disagree with us.") He was the original Democrat.
