Description

Richard Landes examines how Westerners' inability to understand medieval mentality led to disastrous misinterpretations and misguided reactions in the early 21st century, contributing to our current information distrust and societal divisions.

The author, a medievalist and historian of apocalyptic movements, documents key events from 2000-2003 that shaped our world, including lethal journalism and the politicization of science. Landes argues that these radical disorientations have created deep splits within the voting public and hindered Western elites' ability to defend their civilization.

This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of how historical context can inform our understanding of contemporary global issues, shedding light on the complex factors driving modern conflicts and societal divisions.
