Booketeer’s Reviews > Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time > Status Update

I'm getting angrier as I read that more people have not read this book. Ideology and economics have their place as forces in history, but this deals with people who make choices and do things. Ideas don't just happen, resulting in history. People act. They make history.

Every bit as academic and respectable as any other history of the modern world, and yet ignored by everyone except a minority of Americans. Why?
