Radical changes in the political sphere have a way of sneaking up on us. Who in 1929 could have envisaged that within a mere decade the globe would be engulfed in the fire, atrocity and horror of the Second World War? And if anyone had been foolhardy to suggest, in 1980, that within 10 years the Berlin Wall would come down, Eastern Europe would throw off the Stalinist yoke, and the Soviet Union would be on the verge of peacefully dissolving itself, they would have been laughed out of court.
