How can we explain the origins of the great wave of paranoid hatreds that seem inescapable in our close-knit world - from American shooters and ISIS to Donald Trump, from a rise in vengeful nationalism to racism and misogyny on social media? In Age of Anger, Pankaj Mishra answers our bewilderment by casting his gaze back to the 18th century before leading us to the present.

I'm not a historian . . .

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No, I would not recommend this book. It is ponderous and it seems to be out of chronological sequence at times. Nor did I feel that I gained any great insights from it. I did learn a bit about the conditions leading to a rise in nationalism.
Would you ever listen to anything by Pankaj Mishra again?
I doubt it.
Have you listened to any of Derek Perkins’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't heard him before but he did a fine job.
Do you think Age of Anger needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I think the same premise about nationalism throughout history could be explored in a way that is more accessible to the mainstream, as opposed to this author.
Any additional comments?
The book had references throughout to historical events and people that were unfamiliar to me. Much of the time I just felt lost.
