C.G. Jung's unique Swiss vantage point, in the midst of two world wars, enabled him to observe the catastrophic and cataclysmic events in the surrounding world and led him to conclude that modern man stands at the threshold of a new spiritual epoch. There is a "longing for rest in an age of unrest," he wrote, "a longing for security in an age of insecurity". We are still waiting at the threshold in anticipation of a new form of existence. This book by a retired U.S. Foreign Service officer demonstrates the relevance of Jungian psychology to the political process and to international relations.
