The Prince and Other Writings (Barnes & Noble Classics)
"It would be hard to imagine a more readable general history of the West that covers so much ground so incisively."ۥWilliam Grimes, The New York Times
Ever since the attacks of September 11, 2001, Western leaders have described a world engaged in "a fight for civilization." But what do we mean by civilization? We believe in a Western tradition of freedom that has produced a fulfilling existence for many millions of people and a culture of enormous depth and creative power. But the history of our civilization is also filled with unspeakable brutalityۥfor every Leonardo there is a Mussolini, for every Beethoven symphony a concentration camp, for every Chrysler Building a My Lai massacre.Country | USA |
