Who would have thought I could read this book with my jaw dropping in shock and then watch Grimsby the movie and have an epiphany - It's all true still today and we all know it ( well those of us in the know anyway including Nobby Butcher!) John Carey manages to compare Hitler with some of literatures biggest names with the only difference being Hitler took action with the rest just spouting words - what a strange reaction to have - utterly shocking and unputdownable.

Professor John Carey shows how early twentieth-century intellectuals imagined the 'masses' as semi-human swarms, drugged by popular newspapers and cinema, and ripe for extermination. Exposing the revulsion from common humanity in George Bernard Shaw, Ezra Pound, D. H. Lawrence, E. M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, H. G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, W. B. Yeats and other canonized writers, he relates this to the cult of the Nietzschean Superman, which found its ultimate exponent in Hitler. Carey's assault on the founders of modern culture caused consternation throughout the artistic and academic establishments when it was first published in 1992.
