Abstract
Ideas, like poplars, never stand alone. They gain a life of their own. They produce a shadow. Yet what is the nature of that shadow that Eliot so elegantly perceived? And what is the temperament of that 'vitality of thought' that renders ideas unkeepable, unless they are actualized, as Whitehead observed, in historical events? Edwin Black is concerned with the possibility that the racist myth of Nordic superiority was born in America, and that American eugenicists peddled the notion to a Nazi regime that eventually carried this logic to its inescapable conclusion the genocide and mass extinction of all non-Aryans in lands designated German.
