Reading Log #2: Eric Hobsbawm The Age of Total War This article focuses on the extremities that World War One and Two brought upon the entire world. This global war had global effects, and changed life on earth for the entire generation that it dawned upon.

The day and the year that Karl Marx was born May 5th, 1818 appear in red letters in the calendar of the social revolution. For on that day the eyes of the revolutions prophet and pioneer opened upon the world. In fancy we can see the baby Marx engaged in his rst struggle, doing his best and worst in baby fashion to give evidence that he was alive and to have his arrival duly noted. We can next see a little toddler nosing about for a suitable opening for his prying activities, little dreaming of the prodigious task awaiting him on the stage of life. And now appears the boy, the youth upon the scene, and sober facts begin to jostle rosy dreams in his dawning mentality and imagination. Marx, the boy, was healthy, handsome, and natural, full of the sap and song and sweetness of life. Like all normal boys he loved play an ...
