It paved the way for Nazism but eventually destroyed it. It brought down the European colonial empires, but has left Africa confronting anarchy, and much of Asia dominated by ambitious and authoritarian new nations. It forced Soviet armies out of Afghanistan and Eastern Europe, and eventually led to the downfall of Communism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWriting with both urgency and sobriety, William Pfaff shows that without understanding this ineradicable factor in our political life, we cannot reckon with the realities that may await us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Pfaff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Touchstone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.53w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780671892487\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Pfaff\u003c\/b\u003e is a political columnist for \u003ci\u003eThe International Herald Tribune, \u003c\/i\u003e London's \u003ci\u003eThe Observer, \u003c\/i\u003e and other newspapers.
