Synopsis

Overcoming racism, respiritualizing society, establishing the unity of all people and creating true civilization is the last war. To fight it, we need to understand how society got to this point:
* how racism developed
* why society became despiritualized
* what happened to our sense of oneness

and we need to develop a vision of how the world can move from its turbulent adolescence to its long awaited maturity, a time when all nations and races will become united in a global civilization.

Mark Perry uses the analogy of an archaeological dig to survey the historical roots of racism and the despiritualization of society, century by century, back from the modern day to their primitive, prehistoric past. Holding out a vision provided by Baha'u'llah, the founder of the Baha'¡ Faith, more than a century ago, he explains how humanity can lay the groundwork for a new civilization.
