The author contends that the story of Western civilization is one of progress, arguing that our current political structures and institutions display greater complexity and effectiveness than their ancient counterparts. It should be noted that this book was published in 1995, so its perspective may not seem as up-to-date now as it was 28 years ago. Nevertheless, the author's ability to provide a concise summary of the West's historical development from a vantage point deep within the 20th century is still undeniably impressive. Advancing the argument that the 'west' as a concept is not monolithic, the author discusses both the many ways in which Western civilization has shaped the rest of the world and also the extent to which it has been shaped by other cultures. This book is a must-read for anyone hoping to gain a greater understanding of how the West came to be what it is today.
