Tragedy and Hope

YA fiction writers must not miss this book; this book contains a section that happens to also explain the history behind adolescent rebellion and the modern zeitgeist of inclusive diversity. There aren't many academic references or citations in this book, and the few explicit ones are inline in the narrative, and some of the predictions about the future (this book was written in the 1960's) turn out to be wrong, such as on Turkey's prospects and the unification of Germany, but overall this tome is sorely not to be missed.
