Credited with influencing the philosophies of Nietzsche and Ayn Rand and the development of libertarianism and existentialism, this prophetic 1844 work challenges the very notion of a common good as the driving force of civilization. By examining the role of the human ego, author Max Stirner chronicles the battle of the individual against the collective -- showing how, throughout history, the latter invariably leads to oppression.Stirner begins with a study of the individual ego and then traces its subjugation from ancient times to the nineteenth century. Nothing escapes his indictment: the ancient philosophers, Christianity, monarchism, the bourgeois state; all have fettered individuals with laws, morality, and obligations. Revolutions expunge one evil only to replace it with another, and Stirner predicted -- years before the publication of Marx's Manifesto -- that socialism would climax in the ultimate totalitarian state.
For students of political science and philosophy, this book is essential reading. For those concerned about the encroachment of authority upon individual liberty, Stirner articulates a philosophy that remains unsurpassed in its scope.

an excellent reference book
Format: Hardcover
At a time when the U.S. and Israel’s military operation against Iran has become one of the most important issues on the global agenda, this is an excellent reference book that summarizes the historical development of events and provides valuable context for better understanding what is happening today.

Great for better understanding Iran's strategic perspectives
Format: Hardcover
The book moves through the growth of Iran's strategic history since the 1979 revolution. By the time it gets to the last 100 pages its very interesting as far as understanding Iran's perspective. Also found it chilling how foreboding many parts were in light of what is happening right now

Great book to understand Iran's strategy in a historical context
Nasr provides a solid understanding of Iran both in contemporary and historical context. It makes the case clear what and how Iran is thinking. Reading it at the time of Us-Israel and Iran war helped make sense of the news media, which often follows shallow analysis.

Iran’s Strategic Error.
Format: Audiobook
Excellent discussion of Iran’s grand strategy in what they believe will protect their Nation as they continue as the world’s pariah. The book is well written and clearly lays out the history of Iran over the past 50-60 years and why they are implementing this strategy albeit a failed one, and the results. The Ayatollahs continue to pursue the destruction of Israel and struggle via terrorism and supporting war proxies to become the regions power, instead of pursuing economic wealth. This book describes the how’s and whys of this failed strategy. Good reading
