Description
The origins of ideological polarization in the twentieth century are explored by Jacob Leib Talmon in this comprehensive work. Talmon examines the schism within European society between totalitarians of Right and Left, as well as the split between an acceptance of historical national communities and a vision of a socialist society achieved through universal revolutionary breakthroughs. This final volume of Talmon's history of the modern world brings together his incisive scholarship to investigate the workings of totalitarianism and democracy.
