FROM THE PUBLISHER - Along with its much vaunted progress in scientific and economic realms, the twentieth century has witnessed the rise of the most brutal and oppressive regimes in the history of humankind.

Jacket image: details from 'The Tennis Court Oath, 20 June 1789' after Jacques Louis David. keywords: Philosophy Politics. FROM THE PUBLISHER - It is sometimes thought that the renowned essayist Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997) was incapable of writing a big book. But in fact he developed some of his most important essays - including ‘Two Concepts of Liberty' and ‘Historical Inevitability' - from a book-length manuscript that he intended to publish but later set aside.
