The Captive Mind analyses the power of tyrannical regimes to enslave men and women, not just through terror, but through ideas, achieving 'mastery over the human spirit'. Championing intellectual freedom, Miłosz's brilliantly perceptive polemic played a significant liberating role in Poland, and is still relevant and chilling today.
