邦訳：2025年4月・東京堂出版New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2023. Fear, and the panic it produces, is perhaps the major driving force of world history: fear of God, famine, war, disease and other people. Beginning with the Black Death and examining the French Revolution, Cold War paranoia and recent pandemics, Robert Peckham traces a new world history, considering the impact of fear as both a tool of power and a catalyst for change.
