Here, for the first time, he charts his political and intellectual evolution across five transformative decades. We follow him from the circle of students around the conservative intellectual Allan Bloom at Cornell, into the halls of power in Washington and at the RAND Corporation, and into private conversations with world leaders from Muammar Qaddhafi to China's powerful elite. Fukuyama touches on his family's story, including his relatives' internment during World War II along with other Japanese Americans. And, in surprisingly personal terms, he reflects on the experiences that led him to reevaluate his own thinking, most notably his dramatic public break with the neoconservative movement over the invasion of Iraq. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore than a conventional memoir, \n\u003ci\u003eIn the Realm of the Last Man \u003c\/i\u003eis personal history as political history--the story of a life that illuminates the troubled fate of democracy and liberalism over the last fifty years. Returning to and developing the concepts that have been central to his work--recognition, thymos, trust, identity, human nature, institutions, and the Last Man--Fukuyama brings the depth and richness of personal experience and pathbreaking scholarship to illuminate the crises of the twenty-first century. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUrgent, brilliant, and essential, Fukuyama's \n\u003ci\u003e In the Realm of the Last Man\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a major thinker grappling in real time with the convulsions of history, and looking ahead to our possible future. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 05\/15\/2026 (EAN 9780374620431, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/08\/2026 (EAN 9780374620431, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eFukuyama, Francis\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrancis Fukuyama\u003c\/b\u003e is the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies.
