This is the saga of how the most ambitious of big ideas-that a world made up of many nations can govern itself peacefully-has played out over the millennia. Humankind's "Great Experiment" goes back to the most ancient of days-to the Garden of Eden-and into the present, with an eye to the future. This dramatic narrative of breathtaking scope and riveting focus puts the "story" back into history. Book jacket.
