Synopsis "The Hour of Decision "

The Hour of Decision is Oswald Spengler's final book, both a detailed overview of European and world politics in the early to mid 20th century and a prognostication and dire warning of the future that has since proven all too accurate. Spengler cuts through the false labels of ideology and theory to reveal the true forces which determine world events, and paints a sober portrait of the global trends of our lifetime. Provocative, unsparing, and unsentimental, The Hour of Decision remains as relevant now as it was when it was first published. Rogue Scholar Press is proud to offer a completely new edition of this classic work.

Oswald Spengler (Blankenburg, 1880 – Munich, 1936) earned his doctorate in 1904 at the University of Halle with a thesis on Heraclitus. He worked as a high school teacher until a small inheritance from his mother allowed him to move to Munich and dedicate himself to research. Exempt from military service due to health issues, Spengler did not directly participate in World War I, but the conflict significantly influenced his reflections on politics and history. The first volume of The Decline of the West, the work that catapulted the author to fame, was published in 1918 and the second volume in 1922.
