Dragons Of Expectation Reality And Delusion In The Course Of History

"DRAGONS OF EXPECTATION--the tile alludes to the Poetic Edda--is another autobiography in fragments, as well as a development of Conquest's ongoing exposure of myths and manias and the degraded state of much of contemporary academe. Although the book sometimes becomes almost epigrammatic, and shifts subjects like a projector showing slides, it is always beautifully written, and based firmly on the author's moral sanity and passionate common sense."Conquest, Robert is the author of 'Dragons Of Expectation Reality And Delusion In The Course Of History', published 2004 under ISBN 9780393059335 and ISBN 0393059332.
