    About On Looking Into the Abyss

    In these provocative essays, one of our most distinguished historians looks into the abyss of the present. Himmelfarb exposes the intellectual and spiritual impoverishment of some of our most fashionable current ideas–and shows how the vogue for historical structuralism has made it possible to trivialize the tragedy of the Holocaust.
