More about the book
The book presents a radical reinterpretation of 20th-century history, positioning 1945 as its starting point and 1968 as the end of the Age of Reason. It controversially categorizes the First World War as the first 20th-century conflict and views the Second World War as a continuation of 19th-century wars. The author argues that the Second World War was part of a broader series of conflicts from 1931 to 1975, while the Cold War represented a period of suspended animosities. The analysis of the 1991 Gulf campaign is particularly contentious.
