"Winter is an acclaimed cultural historian of World War I and early 20th-century conflicts. Here, with refreshing, new-millennium insight, he reflects on inter-world war attempts-excluding the awful accomplishments born of the ostensibly idealistic goals of the century's roster of monster totalitarians-to build a better, fairer society on a grand scale. . . . Highly recommended."-Library Journal "To anyone with a flame of utopian hope still flickering in his or her soul, this moving, wise, and passionate book can only be a blessing."-Stanley Hoffman, Foreign Affairs Jay Winter is Charles J. Stille Professor of History, Yale University. He is author or coauthor of more than a dozen books including Remembering War: The Great War between Memory and History in the 20th Century, published by Yale University Press.
