MORE BOOKS TO READ:  I'm linking here to Anne Applebaum's review of Richard Overy's The Dictators:  Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia.  Titled "How Evil Works," the review offers a panoramic scan of the tiny body of research carried out since the end of the Second World War to understand totalitarianism as a highly productive manufacturer of human evil.  I haven't read Overy's book yet, so I won't add more in the way of comment here.  Read the review.  One point, raised by Applebau, to consider:  the obsession with science as a new moral code, embraced with equal ardor by Hitler and Stalin, has deep and troubling implications for my inquiry.  The role of reason and science in morality is something that I'd like to discuss in the fullness of time.
