A concise survey of the culture and civilization of mankind, The Lessons of History is the result of a lifetime of research from Pulitzer Prize–winning historians Will and Ariel Durant. With their accessible compendium of philosophy and social progress, the Durants take us on a journey through history, exploring the possibilities and limitations of humanity over time. Juxtaposing the great lives, ideas, and accomplishments with cycles of war and conquest, the Durants reveal the towering themes of history and give meaning to our own.

“Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.” And so we have. Time and again, mankind has faced down problems, but have often failed to take the hard-earned knowledge into the next battle. Doomed to Repeat is a collection of essays, edited by Bill Fawcett, that illuminates some of the problems we've faced repeatedly throughout history, including Islamic jihad, terrorism, military insurgencies, inflation and the devaluation of currency, financial disasters, ecological collapses, radical political minorities like the Nazis and Bolsheviks, and pandemics and epidemics like the Black Death. With more than 35 chapters of the Groundhog Days of world history, both infamous and obscure, Doomed to Repeat: The Lessons of History We've Failed to Learn is chock-full of trivia, history, and fascinating looks at the world’s repeated mistakes.

If we do not learn from history, we will repeat the mistakes of the present and the past. In earlier times, this was already not good, but in today's times, it can endanger life on earth. This book addresses the question, "Could things have turned out differently?" There are times when a choice determines war or peace, happiness or unhappiness. These are called nodes. Also, this book covers 120 lessons from history and certain topics are covered in depth. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in politics and society. The question of what not only can we do with these lessons from world history is eventually addressed, as well as the question of what we should ultimately do to prevent misery. This book is about lessons from world history that could be applied to the present and the future
