Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Game of Empires: A Warning to America
Historical perspective is, of necessity, a prerogative pos sessed only by posterity. The ultimate significance of con temporary events is a secret the answer to which lies con coaled in the more or less remote future. The time has not come, of course, when an authoritative history of the most stupendous conflict the world has known, an international war that has involved all but one of the so-called great powers Of the planet, can be written. It is reasonable, per haps, to go even further than this and to assert that such a work, earnestly demanded though it may be by future gen erations, will never be within the range Of human attain ment. History is written by Man, not by Superman, and must of necessity be marred by the limitations, prejudices and mental bias of those who produce it.
