An Age of Progress?: Clashing Twentieth-Century Global Forces - Tapa dura

'[Moss’s] insights always are intriguing, his conclusions often unexpected, his opinions judicious. This is far more than a history of the twentieth century: it is a sobering guide to the lasting import of what has happened.' —H. J. de Blij, Professor of Geography at Michigan State University and author of ‘Why Geography Matters’

'This is a lucid and compelling reckoning of the issues, events, and ideas that made the twentieth century a time of humanity’s greatest advances and its worst atrocities, a time of boundless hope and crushing despair.' —Mark Leier, Professor of History at Simon Fraser University and author of ‘Bakunin: the Creative Passion’

'Elegantly, comprehensively, insightfully, Walter Moss carries us through the twentieth century's record of progress and violence, promise and disappointment to an appreciation of the challenges we face in the twenty-first century.' — Joyce Applebly, Professor Emeritus, UCLA and former President of the American Historical Association

'‘An Age of Progress?’ is a remarkable book. Readable yet scholarly, balanced yet challenging, expansive yet detailed, the book is a sort of model for the way 'big' history should be written. If you seek insight into the meaning of the twentieth century for the twenty first, you should read this book.' —Marshall Poe, ‘New Books in History’

'Moss has adroitly compressed an enormous amount of information into a relatively brief study... Highly recommended.' —‘Choice’

'Moss's insight is intriguing and powerful... A must read for anyone interested in international affairs and global cooperation.' —Eric R. Jackson, ‘International Journal on World Peace’
