“This is a thoughtful, careful and intelligent tracing of the pilgrimage of western man in search for unity, freedom and justice under law.” (Kirkus Review). Barr examines the the past in search of solutions for a future that includes a unity of purpose and outlook among men. He traces European history from the Thirteenth century to WWII, concluding “that man is still searching for a city, a common government, whether as a Hitler or a Stalin would have it, or by common action as it should and must be.”
