History

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We often feel that history has no sense, that it teaches us nothing, and that the past was just a tedious retelling of the mistakes that the future is destined to make on a larger scale.

#2 The history of mankind is a precarious enterprise, and only a fool would try to compress a hundred centuries into a hundred pages of dangerous conclusions. We proceed with caution.
