Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars

★ Cundill History Prize ★ Foreign Affairs – Best Books of the Year

Before the First World War, enthusiasm for a borderless world reached its height. Against the World combines archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of history and political science, Against the World explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the anti-globalism and mass politics between the world wars emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
