Tragedy and Hope

"...is a lively, informed, and always readable view of our not quite One World of today, seen in historical perspective. Quigley has already shown his comand of the kind of historical perspective seen in work like that of Toynbee and Spengler; but unlike them he does not so much concern himself with projections from a distant past to a distant future as he does with what must interest us all much more closely - our own future and that of our immediate descendants. He uses the insights, but in full awareness of the limitations of our modern social sciences, and specially those of economics, sociology, and psychology. Not all readers will agree with what he sees ahead of us in the near future, nor with what he thinks we should do about it. But all will find this provocative and sometimes provoking book a stimulus to profitable reflection." - CRANE BRINTON
