Rainer ZerbackWhat would happen if humankind were to disappear? What would planet earth look like without us?

From the time of Marx/Engels the critique of liberalism has always been set against the heroic tale of its association with the triumph of democracy. As the author here makes clear in close detail the history of the liberal framework is not so transparent, and this can be seen in the way the world of Locke emerges from the radicalism of the English Civil War with a liberalism that will condone slavery. This legacy is inherited by the American Revolution and leaves the whole onset of its democracy ambiguous. This is the classic 'bourgeois' revolution and is what lead to the critiques of the socialists who looked back at the inner failure of the democratic revolutions behind their surface success.

A Must read for all Americans and those who appeal to the American model

Format: Hardcover

Certainly everybody who uses the words, 'freedom' 'liberal' 'democracy', as so many do so loosely, and so many who appeal to the "New'World" model do, should read this; and then take stock of the double standards and hypocrisy that existed in the past, and which still thrive today, based on discredited myths from the past two or three centuries.

A Challenge For All Liberals

Format: Paperback

I thought the book was well-written, impeccably sourced, wide-ranging, and with a thesis that can't help but make you think. Well worth your time.

The history is unpleasant and therefore worth knowing.

It's a wonderfully enlightening history of how European explorers visited, settled in, conquered, and exploited other continents with unparalleled cruelty in the name of power, greed, and their "loving" religion that brought them misery, exploitation and, all too often, abject slavery.
