Product Description
A stevedore on the San Francisco docks in the 1940s, Eric Hoffer wrote
philosophical treatises in his spare time while living in the railroad
yards. The True Believer -- the first and most famous of his books --
was made into a bestseller when President Eisenhower cited it during one
of the earliest television press conferences.Completely relevant and
essential for understanding the world today, The True Believer is a
visionary, highly provocative look into the mind of the fanatic and a
penetrating study of how an individual becomes one.
