A short history of the twentieth century

"God writes straight with crooked lines"

"Now we have only peoples' wars"

"National self-determination"

"Cossacks! Brethren!"

No nostalgia for the "world of yesterday"

South of the border and across the Pacific

"Middle class" is not "bourgeois"

"I was a nationalist, but I was not a patriot"

The wave of the future

"I hope it is not too late"

To subdue and conquer Germany and Japan

The division of Europe almost complete

The brave Harry Truman

American nationalism, American benevolence

"Europe," and the end of the Cold War

"Great leap forward"

The limitations of human knowledge
