Another fascinating science fiction book from Poul Anderson. In the beginning was World War III Out of the flames there was born a new civilization, a new humanity, dedicated to one world rather than to many nations, to one peace rather than many wars. Never again on Planet Earth would one group of humans "defend" themselves agains t another group equally convinced that all their actions were 'defensive'. Never again on Planet Earth. But cycles repeat themslves endlessly Earth is only the beginning of the human story. Next comes planet against planet, and then the stars themselves. Through it all the impersonal forces of historical necessity will tend to force that story into pathways of tyranny, stasis and war. And in the end hey must prevail, But ever will humankind be free once more ...
