“No nation of people has ever created a groundswell that successfully reversed the progress of a totalitarian government, once it was well underway. Generally, the course of events is that the penultimate stage is characterised by increasing domination and warfare. The final stage is one of social, political, and economic collapse. It is difficult to picture, today, the perspective of Europeans in the late 1930s. All around them, they could see an economic and political decline, yet the vast majority of people stayed right where they were, like horses that fear to leave a burning barn. They had become accustomed to the fact that Europe was the commercial and cultural centre of the world.”
