As one of the most "anachronistic" scholars of the nineteenth century, Burckhardt's ideological theme was the diagnosis of European "modernity" and its attendant crisis of civilization. Out of defense of the classical humanistic tradition, he refused to use any modern disciplinary paradigm to systematize his thoughts. Instead, he adopted a subtle way of speaking and integrated his own thinking into his works, lectures, and thousands of letters left during his lifetime. This book selects 181 of Burckhardt's most representative letters, including 9 diaries from his stay in London in 1879, which provides a panoramic view of Burckhardt's life and thinking from the age of 20 to the eve of his death.

In this book, John Toland takes the trial of Japanese Class A and Class B war criminals by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East after the end of World War II as the background, and the complex contradiction between love and law between the families of an American defense lawyer and a Japanese war criminal as the main axis, profoundly revealing the disasters caused by Japan's war of aggression to its own people. Sympathy for individual war criminals is revealed in some places in the book, but its main purpose is to praise peace and condemn war. As Tolan said: History will not simply teach people lessons. Based on the present and understanding the past, it will teach people more.
