"Three times during the twentieth century - in 1918, 1945, and 1981 - Eastern Europe was to be made 'safe for democracy.' The dismantling of the empires of the Habsburgs, Ottoman sultans, Russian tsars, Hitler's Germany, and that of the Soviet Union in the face of the irresistible force of the oppressed nation's quest for democracy has fulfilled the axiomatic ideological position of Western champions of the principle of self-determination of nationalities. Yet even after the overthrow of the most pernicious forms of totalitarianism democracy remains illusory.

This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket has some wear and the cover boards have none. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "I first began to appreciate fully all we owed the World War II generation while I was covering the fortieth and fiftieth anniversaries of D-day for NBC News. When I wrote in The Greatest Generation about the men and women who came out of the Depression, who won great victories and made lasting sacrifices in World War II and then returned home to begin building the world we have today - the people I called the Greatest Generation - it was my way of saying thank you. I felt that this tribute was long overdue, but I was not prepared for the avalanche of letters and responses touched off by that book...." - Preface by The Greatest Generation Speaks: Letters and Reflections

There is no bumping or fraying, although the covers are somewhat bent. "Algarre del Diablo - the Devil's Stranglehold. That's what folks called the oppressive temperatures that July in Texas, on the fifth day of the year's major heat wave. Unless major efforts to irrigate were underway, you could not find a spot anywhere that held any moisture. Not the time to be working on a hot tar roof. In this torrid condition no one felt like exerting any unnecessary energy. But, at five-thirty we still gathered, as we did most every sunny day, at the icehouse on Big Joshua Creek.

The previous owner's name is written on the inside of the front cover board. The pages are yellowing but clear of any markings. "This book is written for the reader who is interested in theology but is not a theologian; in philosophy, but not a philosopher; in society, but not a sociologist. There is one other assumption about the reader: he is either an active or a latent Churchman-and, according to Temple, this covers everybody!" - Preface from William Temple: Twentieth-Century Christian
