Tolerance by Hendrik Willem van Loon
A lively, accessible survey of humanity’s long struggle to think, worship, and live without fear, tracing episodes from antiquity through the Reformation and Enlightenment to the modern era, celebrating those who defended freedom of conscience while exposing the cruelty and folly of fanaticism; ultimately arguing that tolerance is learned through understanding, that intolerance thrives on ignorance and fear, and that safeguarding diversity of thought is essential to civilization’s progress.
