TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of
transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth
century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With
clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley
examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a
worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he
tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical
context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It
gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different
cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely
than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology
on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the
intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to
1914 influenced the development of today's world.
