Well, no one writes like this any more. Great, soaring allusions, might be too much for this politically correct world. Their racial analysis alone is way out of date, even for 1968.
Excellent. An explanation of civilization as we know it done in 100 pages. Lots of references to literature and writings from the past if you wanted to go further. Man kind hasn't changed much since written history started. Doesn't look like we will ever really change. Make a good understanding of how we got to where we are, but nothing on the possibility of real change for the better.
Very insightful and thought provoking.
