Professor Niall Ferguson,
Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University
"The War of the World: Explaining Twentieth Century Conflict"
Tuesday, November 6
3:30pm
SOCH Seminar Room (P14)
Why was the twentieth century history's bloodiest by far? * Why did unprecedented material progress go hand in hand with total war and genocide? * And was the calamity at the century's heart, World War II, a triumph of good over evil - a modern morality play, running from 1939 to 1945 - or something altogether more ambiguous and protracted?
In "The War of the World", Niall Ferguson redefines the war as the central act of a fifty-year struggle between rival empires - a colossal confrontation born of economic crisis, ethnic conflict and the inexorable decline of the West. His quest for new answers to the key questions of modern history takes him from the walls of Nanjing to the bloody beaches of Normandy, from the economics of ethnic cleansing to the politics of imperial decline and fall.
This event is cosponsored by the SOCH, Harvard College Fed Challenge, and the Harvard Undergraduate Economics Association (HUEA).
