Five Thousand Years of Controversies
By Arthur Garson, Jr.
Five Thousand Years of Controversies
A Family's Journey Through World History
Five Thousand Years of Controversies is Arthur Garson, Jr.’s history of humanity’s great arguments, staged as fifty family dinners across five millennia. The same family appears at every table — a mother, a twelve-year-old daughter after the big picture, a fifteen-year-old son asking the hard questions — and two brothers debate the era’s controversy after the plates are cleared.
