Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World In Our Time Kindle Edition

Most readers quote from this book to illuminate the ideas that the Illuminati and more importantly baking institutions really run both the U.S. government and the world. However, the reader must take the time to read the whole book. Dr. Carroll Quigley wrote a book for the ages and especially with its focus on the first half of the 20th century. The book was written in 1966 and Dr. Carroll Quigley died in 1977, but his theories on the economic policies on the West in such countries as the United States, Great Britain, France, and Nazi Germany were fascinating to me. I have to admit that in some cases, the man was so brilliant that I did not understand all the subject material in his book. I can honestly write that he was a great historian who loved to write history books, and teach, which came out in his book. Rest In Peace (R.I.P.) to Dr. Carroll Quigley!

Excellent book.This book was hard for me to digest. It was written at a level and depth that made me work a lot more than I had thought I could to try to understand all it had to offer. I have a better understanding of the subjects I read but will need to return to it at a future point to try to understand those thoughts that are still unclear to me.

This is a fantastic book. I first found it many years ago and read it (maybe a different edition) and found it fascinating, cogent, andunderstandable. More, it makes much of the history of the last centuries understandable. I had lent my copy and never got it back.Then it was out of print many years. I'm glad to have this edition which seems expanded from what I had read. A minor quibble: theproofreading of this edition is a bit sloppy in a couple of place -- numbers left out (where probably they left a space to look up theauthoritative number) or units are wrong. Does not detract from what he said. A friend of mine was one of his students atGeorgetown University many years ago and was glad to see that he'd "finally finished the book he'd been talking about so much."

I can't recommend this book more strongly for those who want a view of history published in 1965 by an author/historian who didn't write much but who had a refreshing view on the trace of world history on the early and mid-20th Century. Bill Clinton said in a speech that this book had a significant influence on him; I can see why. Buy it, read it, enjoy it. Highly recommend buying one of the older versions instead of the newer, cheap knockoffs. I bought a cheap one first; the spine broke on me (1,300 pages - a heavy book).

loved it. gifted this to my boyfriend. he had been wanting this for so long. it’s a thick book and the quality was great. no damage. perfect condition. and got it on time! well worth the money!

Excellent book. This book was actually banned in the 70-90th due to its content and only through personal connection Quigley was able to get it unbanned by Clinton administration (as Clinton used to be a pupil of Quigley...

If you are into history, this book is a must have for your collection. Mr. Quigley's attention to detail in his research is very readable and the flow is quite comfortable. Highly recommend this book.

The book is huge, 1300 pages, written by an academic without hardly a reference in the few hundred pages read so far. No footnotes, hence much opinion. It is a mystery trying to distinguish fact from fiction from opinion.

Hard work to read and the pages are dense covering about 1 1/2 pages to 1 of the older version. But the truth on the Milner group and the true history from about 1900 to 1970 makes this the most important history book ever written. Carroll Quigley is not someone to be under-estimated and his analysis in most places is good, although I found him far too trusting of the Secret Network he describes. For conspiracy researchers this is a must have book if you are to be able to understand what really happened and hold y our own in a history debate, this is the book to have to study more than any other book on history ever written. A book well worth reading and going through- it is quite a hard read but every now and again the nuggets contained are priceless and well worth the effort.

This book was never meant for the general public, it was aimed at the hierarchies of universities around the world, it was originally banned by the U.S. government because of the criticisms of the Cuba crisis.The book contains a warning for humanity, based upon the historical reasons for the collapse of ancient civilisations, a warning our governments should all take heed of.This book should be in all schools, & readers will find the history of Europe fascinating, readers will find so much they did not know, particularly about the influence of the U.K. in European & world affairs, it's not pleasant reading in many respects. One of the best history books I've had occasion to read.

One of the best books about the origin of modern Europe. My only criticism is that their is no index or a list of the books/notes that were used in Quigley's research for the book.

This should be required reading for those who want to know how the world really works and who controls what. Otherwise, we are all living in delusion.

The truth will set you free
