Fear: An Alternative History of the World — Robert Peckham
$24.95
A Bold and Timely Exploration of the Emotion That Has Shaped Human History
In Fear: An Alternative History of the World, historian Robert Peckham traces how fear has quietly shaped societies, politics, revolutions, economies, and everyday life across centuries. Moving from the Black Death and the French Revolution to Cold War paranoia, financial crashes, and the digital anxieties of modern life, Peckham examines fear not only as a tool of control, but also as a force that sparks resistance, adaptation, and change. Thought-provoking and surprisingly readable, this is a sweeping look at the emotion lurking behind some of history’s biggest turning points.
