Publisher Description
Ever since its first publication in 1992, the New York Times bestselling The End of History and the Last Man has provoked controversy and debate. "Profoundly realistic and important...supremely timely and cogent...the first book to fully fathom the depth and range of the changes now sweeping through the world." —The Washington Post Book World
Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword, The End of History and the Last Man is a modern classic.

Disappointed
I consider the author’s viewpoint to be very dogmatic, without any clear argument on why one of the two sides discussed prevails. I also missed a logical cohesion in the flow of the presentation of the issues raised, as it often seemed to me that the argumentation was more a passionate polemic against the other side, than a demonstration of the efficiency of the one the author supports. I usually look for books that challenge me in new directions, I found this one to have been written to recycle existing ideas. Nonetheless, I did appreciate the multitude of topics discussed and the aspects on which the two sides were compared.
