Arnold Toynbee was the most prolific historian of the twentieth century. In his massive A Study of History, Toynbee made a comparative study of all the world's civilizations, surviving and extinct, analyzing their rise, growth, breakdown, and disintegration. Arnold Toynbee and the Western Tradition summarizes and appraises Toynbee's understanding of the nature, evolution, and destiny of Western civilization, focusing on his critique of the liberal-rational tradition.

The Author: Marvin Perry taught history at Baruch College, City University of New York. His books include An Intellectual History of Modern Europe; Western Civilization: A Brief History; Toynbee Reappraisals (co-editor); and Jewish-Christian Encounters Over the Centuries (co-editor).
