This was a tough read but after watching you tube and reading wiki summaries I now get what the authors were trying to convey.
This book is fascinating, do get online follow ups as we are in a crisis thats going to get a lot worse until 2030!

I read this book on the recommendation of someone else I read. Had no real idea what it was about other than it took this "amazing unique paradigm" of history. As I read I had three primary thoughts:
1. This is poorly written.
2. This is poorly researched and doesn't use proper historical research methods (Something I had to us in order to write my Masters dissertation)
3. This is incredibly Ameri-centric and sometimes a little racist. (The author discounts the native and black American experience a number of times.)
I started skimming because the author repeats himself so much. As I read the apocalyptic ending I kept thinking -- this sounds like Q-anon conspiracy nonsense circa 1997.
The cyclical theory of history is not unique. It's been around for a long time. It's not a "new paradigm" and many historians reject this particular view. Time and history are too nuanced to force it into patterns. The author does a lot of forcing.
When I finished - kind of wishing I hadn't wasted the time I did on this - I found out that this is one of Steve Bannon's favorite books.
That explains everything.
This book is bunk. Don't waste your time.
I now feel like I need a shower.
