"How the West was wrought In [----] economic historian Niall Ferguson wrote The West and the Rest. This was the tail end of the decade-long war on terror when the clash of civilizations between the West and Islamic radicalism dominated our view of global geopolitics. An overview of the book on Amazon asserts that Western civilizations rise to global dominance is the single most important historical phenomenon of the past five centuries. This is a defensible claim and Fergusons narrative was only the latest in a well-established genre exemplified by William H. McNeills [----] The Rise of the West."
