In these wide-ranging and penetrating essays, O'Brien examines how throughout the world today these age-old forces are once again threatening democracy, the rule of law, and freedom of expression -- particularly in the United States, the nation founded on Enlightenment values. He weaves together beautifully written discussions on these and other timely, related topics. Enlivening his grim predictions with dry wit, he nevertheless conveys an apocalyptic sense of the threats facing democracy as we approach the third millennium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780028740942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.52w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/1995 pg. 1258\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/12\/1995 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1995 pg. 606\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/18\/1995\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Conor Cruise O'Brien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38350936441013,"sku":"9780028740942","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_878bc70e-7177-4c73-abea-f2a5f714a0ee.jpg?v=1611646795","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/on-the-eve-of-the-millenium-the-future-of-democracy-through-an-age-of-unreason-9780028740942","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
