What to read after Memoirs?

Raymond Aron (1905-83), a prominent French writer and thinker, has won the respect and admiration of leading figures from all spheres of twentieth-century life and from all points of the political spectrum. His dispassionate, probing analyses of international affairs, social and economic problems, and contemporary history have become increasingly influential in the U.S. and foreign arenas of political discourse and public policy. An independent thinker who was often called the lone voice of reason in the heat of political conflicts, Aron became well known for the penetration, boldness, and clearsightedness of his ideas.
