3. There is modicum of truth in the assertion that "a working knowledge of ancient history is
necessary to the intelligent interpretaion of current events". But the sage who uttered these words

study will reveal certain qualities and attributes which enabled the winners to win and certain
deficiencies which caused the losers to lose. And the student will see that the same patterns recurs
consistently, again and again, throughout the centuries.
