Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The twentieth century produced Auschwitz and the Moon landing. The Gulag and the Marshall Plan. Genocide and reconciliation.The same species built them all.In The Line That Runs Through Us, Peter Scraton confronts the uncomfortable truth of human nature: the capacity for cruelty and the inst…inct for decency exist within the very same story. Civilization is not a guaranteed inheritance; it is a fragile balance of power, incentives, narrative, and conscience.Through a series of powerful, contrasting case studies, this book explores the anatomy of societal collapse and the architecture of renewal. You will journey from the bureaucratic horrors of the Holocaust and the engineered greed of Enron to the quiet courage of Nelson Mandela, the life-saving restraint of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the universal care of the NHS.Inside this profound exploration, you will discover: The Anatomy of Collapse: How propaganda, weaponized identity, and institutional decay pave the way for catastrophe.The Discipline of Restraint: Why courage is often found in the refusal to act, and how law and truth restrain power.The Power of the Ordinary: How civilization is sustained not just by grand treaties, but by the daily, quiet choices of ordinary citizens.This is not just a history book; it is a mirror held up to our modern world. If you are fascinated by the moral history of humanity and the fragility of our institutions, this book will reshape how you see our world.The line between darkness and light runs through us. Which side are you strengthening? This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
