Review Quotes:
"The distinguished historian Bruce Mazlish draws upon encyclopaedic knowledge accumulated over a lifetime, and his prose is enviably elegant and pellucid. He is a champion of 'the New Global History', concerned principally with the global society that has emerged since the Second World War. But, against the widespread idea that modern/postmodern/globalised society is so radically different from anything that went before--the idea that, in Henry Ford's pithy phrase, 'history is bunk'--Mazlish demonstrates how much a profound knowledge of the long-term human past is essential to a proper understanding of the human present."
