It was Quigley's theory of "future preference" that Bill Clinton espoused in his nomination speech for Mike Dukakis in 1988. Very Rare! Included with the book is a lengthy interview given by the author to an unnamed Washington Post reporter from the mid 1970s, just before Quigley's death. He talks about his other book, Tragedy and Hope, the controversy it caused and the behind the scenes work done by MacMillan to supress subsequent editions. In this interview, his conspiracy theories are expounded upon and he calls Henry Kissinger a "Prima Donna." The CD is in MP3 format. Size: 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall.

Seller's Description:
Good. 081912947X. "Carroll Quigley, historian and teacher at Georgetown University, died January 5, 1977, leaving unfinished this manuscript upon which he had been working for the preceding twelve years. His colleagues and friends, upon reviewing the manuscript, decided to press forward with its publication. Although the manuscript is frustratingly incomplete in time sequence-it ends its narrative in the fifteenth century-it carries further toward completion the uniquely anthropological holistic analysis of history which is the theme of his earlier works...Quigley is incredibly successful in abstracting essence from reality-in analyzing mankind's experience in socializing. He describes weaponry as not an end in itself. It is part of a whole in which by far the greater part of persuasion and cooperation is accomplished by institutionalization of ideologies. This book is one of those human efforts which shapes the mind."-from Foreword by Harry J. Hogan. 1043 pages. Bibliography. List of books and articles by the author. Moderate external wear. Some rubbing to large silver lettering upon front board. Light pencil underlining and marginal lines. Binding tight. Many reviewers consider this to be Quigley's magnum opus.; 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall; Weapons Systems and Political Stability-A History.
