Over the centuries, two important beliefs arose in Europe: a faith that man could order his own destiny and that progress was normal. By 1900, doubts arose concerning traditional Western values. The continuing problems of the world's poor, environmental deterioration, the inequality of women, and continued warfare pose real questions about the advancement of the human race.

Disappointing
Revisado: 04-19-09
This book really disappointed me. The topic begs for an answer to the question of why the West triumphed, but it only very superficially addressed that topic. It instead settled for what happened. This is certainly an easier question to answer, and any answer to why it happened is always a bit more subjective, but the why is what makes history come alive, and makes it relevant.

In Tour of Duty, Brinkley explores Senator John Kerry's career and deftly deals with such explosive issues as US atrocities in Vietnam and the bombing of Cambodia. Using new information acquired from the recently released Nixon tapes, Brinkley reveals how White House aides Charles Colson and H.R. Haldeman tried to discredit Kerry. Refusing to be intimidated, Kerry started running for public office, eventually becoming a US Senator from Massachusetts.
