    What can we learn from the events of the 20th century? David Halberstam set out to answer that question in this perceptive and eye-opening work which examines the past in order to determine the future. From the rise of the Japanese economy to the startling changes that reshaped the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Halberstam argues that the American economy's survival depends on the rededication and continued education of the American worker. As pertinent in today's economy as it was when first published, The Next Century is a timeless call to arms, reminding us that we must continually better ourselves in order to compete on the world stage.

It draws on the author's own experience as a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War, and tells the story of Robert Jordan, a demolitions specialist who is sent to blow up a bridge and unexpectedly finds love, comradeship and a greater understanding of humanity in the three days that follow. For Whom the Bell Tolls was unanimously recommended for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1941, but and after a complaint was lodged over the novel's explicit content, no award was given that year.
