In this collection of newly translated essays, philosopher and
sociologist Raymond Aron chronicles the twentieth century with the
authority of an active participant. Combining objectivity with
incisive questioning, Aron's reading of movements and people
reminds us of what was really at stake. Whether charting the rise
of Fascism and Marxism and their respective descents into
totalitarianism, or the United States's role as the world's last
remaining superpower, Aron was a nondogmatic thinker who emphasized
realism over any devotion to theory. The result is history that is
less concerned about where it falls on the political spectrum than
about getting it right.
