Title: The End of History or the Return of Liberal Crisis?
Author: Bruce Cumings
"The megalomaniacal. . .attempt to claim for the American defeat of Soviet communism an 'end of History,' a conclusion to the struggles of the modern world, flatters us and fools us into thinking that we triumphed over a worthy adversary rather than a defensive and brittle movement that aspired to essentially the same things as 'the last man' of contemporary American couch potatodom."

Title: Common Sense About the War
Author: George Bernard Shaw
On December 12, 1914, the first issue of Current History appeared. Then, as now, a single topic was the focus, in this case "What Men of Letters Say" about the "European War." The issue led off with a 50-page essay by the socialist, vegetarian playwright--and later, Nobel laureate--George Bernard Shaw. We present the following extended excerpt as an anniversary gift to our readers.
