About this listen

Robert Conquest has been called by Paul Johnson "our greatest living modern historian". As a new century begins, Conquest offers an illuminating examination of our past failures and a guide to where we should go next. Graced with one of the most acute gifts for political prescience since Orwell, Conquest assigns responsibility for our century’s cataclysms not to impersonal economic or social forces but to the distorted ideologies of revolutionary Marxism and National Socialism. The final, sobering chapters of Reflections on a Ravaged Century concern themselves with some coming storms, notably that of the European Union, which Conquest believes is an economic, cultural, and geographical misconception divisive of the West and doomed to failure. Winner of the Ingersoll Prize; winner of the Richard M. Weaver Prize; a New York Times Notable Book.

Critic reviews

"Illuminates the past with a mighty searchlight and clears away mountains of nonsense." (Gabriel Schoenfeld, Wall Street Journal)

Not Conquest's most well know book, but well worth it. I'd recommend this to readers of Peterson, Murray or Ferguson. Prescient and precise.

Time well spent

Conquest provides a common-sense overview of the 20th century, a period ravaged by lies, violence, and needless hunger, all of which was promoted in the name of progress. Had a number of my assumptions about the British Empire challenged and overturned through a clear review of the data and history.
