These essays deal with the history of the past half-century, facing the world's encouraging as well as saddening developments, from the Nuremburg Trials to Saddam Hussein and the absurdities of Ezra Pound. One group of essays confronts the idea of history and what the past should mean.
The pieces in The Narrow Path of Freedom and Other Essays, by the well-known historian Eugene Davidson, are nothing less than a triumph - historical, of course, but also literary and philosophical. Dealing with the history of the past half-century, they face the world's encouraging as well as saddening developments. Davidson has a way with words; as befits such a far-ranging author, every essay is exquisitely written. One group of the essays confronts the idea of history - what the past should mean. From the Nuremburg Trials to Saddam Hussein, the absurdities of Ezra Pound to the idealism of Charles A. Beard, whom Davidson knew well - here is a book that will last well into our already turbulent new century.
