ARNOLD TOYNBEE is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest living historians writing at the present time. He combines complete mastery of his subject with high literary ability and writes clearly and lucidly for the general, educated reader. His outstanding work, A Study of History, was regarded by one critic as 'of all the books published so far in this century, the most assured of being read a hundred years from now.' Also by Arnold Toynbee: Civilization on Trial, War and Civilization, and The World in March 1939.
