Author Biography: Walter LaFeber

Walter LaFeber is professor of history at Cornell University and the author of The Clash and Inevitable Revolutions.

Book Synopsis

Walter LaFeber's timely analysis looks at the ways that triumphant capitalism, coupled with high-tech telecommunications, is conquering the nations of the world, one mind—one pair of feet—at a time.

Owen Parker

A fascinating book on the dynamics of sport, culture, and capitalism in an era of American dominance, with LaFeber posing a number of important questions regarding the future.

Time Out London, 6-13 October 1999
