Congratulations on the high praise for the book.
EV’s review/essay of Dr. Arendt’s “Origins..” was rather provocative if I remember correctly. If you want the book reviewed for a popular philosophy mag-at least a submission-let me know (robertcheeks@core.com).

The Voegelin essay included is his review of Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism.

I second Carl’s enthusiastic endorsement. Flagg’s Introduction is a tour de force. This is a one-of-a-kind book, a must-read, and an intellectual feast — despite its horrifying subject matte — from beginning to end (including the piece by Alain Besancon, “On the Problem of Defining the Soviet Regime,” that Dan Mahoney and I translated for the anthology). Kudos to Flagg and to ISI Books.

What Voegelin essay did he use? Also, have you read Fr. Schall’s “Modern Age(?)” and, if so, any comment?
