Approximately one hundred years ago, humanity went through one of the worst phases in its history: a world war and, immediately after, a pandemic. However, it survived and learned from this particular threat. A moment of "Revelation," one of the many that brought our world to the brink of destruction.

Dan Carlin, creator of the popular and award-winning podcast, Hardcore History, presents some of these moments from the past, showing us how to face similar challenges in the present and future.

In "The End is Always Near," the author examines the questions that arise in difficult moments in history: Do hard times make us more resilient?
Can humanity handle the power of its weapons without self-destruction?
Are there limits to human technology and its capabilities?
Are epidemics still a threat?

No one knows the answers to such questions, but no one formulates them better than Dan Carlin. Combining his characteristic blend of storytelling, historical data, and peculiar elements, the author connects the past and the future in an exciting and vivid way. At the same time, the topics he asks us to contemplate concern the most important issue there is: the survival of mankind. From the collapse in the Bronze Age to the present day, this issue haunts humanity.

An exciting, vibrant work that will make us reconsider the way we see the past and the future, as we experience the chilling similarities between them, while still feeling the effects of the recent pandemic, which served as a reminder of how easily we lose what we take for granted.
