Book Description:
|
The century that began in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World War has been catastrophic. Over the course of that one-hundred year span, civilisations were destroyed in the Old World, the New World, and the Third World. In Europe the main agent of destruction was totalitarianism; in America it was globalisation; and in the non-Western world it was colonialism. Harry Redner examines each of these processes, providing theoretical and historical accounts of their emergence.
