The century that began in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World
War was catastrophic. Over the course of that one-hundred-year
span, civilizations were destroyed in the Old World, the New World,
and the Third World, the latter represented by China, India, and
Islam. In Europe the main agent of destruction was totalitarianism;
in America it was globalization, ushered in by modernity; and in
the non-Western world it was colonialism, followed later by
totalitarianism and globalization. Harry Redner examines each of
these processes, providing theoretical and historical accounts of
their emergence. He considers the effects of Nazism and Bolshevism
on the morale and morals of Europe; studies the effects on the
United States of the nation's emergence as a major world power; and
describes the impact of modernization on China, India, and Islam as
they underwent Europeanization, Sovietization, and Americanization.
Redner confronts us with a paradox: in the midst of unprecedented
material affluence and organizational efficiency, one that uses
advanced technologies and cutting-edge scientific knowledge, we are
also sinking into an unprecedented cultural, moral, intellectual,
and spiritual decline. He locates the origins of this condition in
the violently contradictory processes of the twentieth century.
