The Temper of Our Time

This book really set me back on my heels! What Hoffer called out in 1966 is what we are now looking with! This book details how the right wing came into being and continues to run amuck. I am so glad to see Hoffers works being revived as it is so revealing of the under belly of the American consciousness. It i apparent that the this type of thinking is prevalent through the American experiment.

Dear friends, this is a wonderful short book that gives us pause for thought. So much has changed since Eric Hoffer wrote this book and yest so much remains to be done to improve the human condition and the environment.The simple yet eloquent style of writing and the down to earth thinking makes for refreshing reading.This was the second title which I recently purchased and enjoyed reading so I plan to read all of his books over the coming months to better understand his view of the world and its people.John BarnesBangkok Thailand.

This excellent book among others by Eric Hoffer are timeless. I purchased these as replacements for ones I have read and reread over the last 30 years. I find that in today's 21st century world that Hoffer's insights remain as vibrant as they were during the period of the sixtys and beyond. Short read, excellent command of english, and as concrete a treatment of a difficult subject as can be found anywhere. The fact that this among others was written by a longshoreman makes it the more astounding and the grasp of concretes awesome.

Great insights from an amazing mind.
