Very interesting! Unfortunatly a lot of topics mentioned in these essays are still accurate today.

This is my favorite passage from the book:

"The starting point for any investigation of antisemitism should not ben 'Why does this obviously irrational belief appeal to other people?' but ? 'Why does antisemitism appeal to me? What is there about it that I feel to be true? If one asks this question one at least discovers one's own rationalizations, and it may be possibile to find out what lies beneath them".

Best when he’s giving a general overview I think. Lots of discussion about Trotskyism that doesn’t translate to today. But his discussion of what Nationalism is, and does feels ever so relevant.

Interesting view upon the world, strongly related to the political situation the author was surrounded with. This included ample of examples on how opinions might change over time, yet how these are still relevant, or remained of importance.
