In what may well rank as the finest political and intellectual history of the twentieth century, the late J. L. Talmon explores the origins of the schism within European society between the totalitarians of Right and Left as well as the split between an acceptance of the historical national community as the natural political and social framework and the vision of a socialist society achieved by a universal revolutionary breakthrough. This, the third and final volume of Talmon's history of the modern world, brings to bear the resources of his incisive scholarship to examine the workings of the ironies of totalitarianism as well as the resources of democracy.
Jacob L. Talmon was educated in Poland, Israel and France. He is the author of The origins of Totalitarian Democracy and Political Messianism. At the time of his death in 1980 he was professor of Modern History at Hebrew university, and was spending his sabbatical year at the National Humanities Center in North Carolina. Irving Louis Horowitz (Introduction) is Hannah Arendt Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Sociology at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
