| Tiivistelmä: | The examination of war as the major factor in future-thinking is continued in the recent article. This account opens with Churchill's Iron Curtain speech at Westminster College and closes with the preliminary declaration of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, 19 November 1990. During the 40-year confrontation between East and West one kind of future was contained in a set of menacing symbols. These images did what the prose of the military analysts could never hope to accomplish. In like manner a succession of most imaginative writers produced their tracts for modern times in brilliant, admonitory fantasies of the future. |
