Sommario/riassunto

These essays deal with the history of the past half-century, facing the world's encouraging as well as saddening developments, from the Nuremburg Trials to Saddam Hussein and the absurdities of Ezra Pound. One group of essays confronts the idea of history and what the past should mean.
