Shows the connections between heretic hunting in early and medieval Christianity and the emergence of totalitarianism in the 20th century. This book traces heretic-hunting as a phenomenon through the middle ages and the 20th century, showing how the same inquisitional modes of thought recur both on the political Left and on the political Right.
