",,, as writers from Ernest Mandel to Thomas Pynchon have shown, World
War II, in its destructiveness and global impact, was an unprecedented
event of homogenization in which outdated territories, identities, and
social fabrics were obliterated.  It was the making, wherever
possible, of a tabula rasa that would become the platform for the
latest phase in the globalization of capitalism. World War II was the
crucible in which new paradigms of communication, information, and
control were forged, and in which connections between scientific
research, transnational corporations, and military power were
consolidated." (p. 67)
