Excerpt from The Sins of the Fathers It is impossible to understand this epic war except in the light of recent history; it is impossible to endure its terror unless we look beyond. It is no casual and untoward event, the rash precipitation in time and space of the insane illusions of matoids and paranoiacs, the accident of industrial war fare, the catastrophe that might have been escaped.

Medici, Borgia and Mac chiavelli, Huss and Luther and Calvin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
