Product Description
Product Description
This major global history of the twentieth century is written by four prominent international historians for first-year undergraduate level and upward. Using their thematic and regional expertise, the authors cover events in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas from the last century and beyond. Among the areas this book covers are:
- the decline of European hegemony over the international order
- the diffusion of power to the two superpowers
- the rise of newly independent states in Asia and Africa
- the course and consequences of the major global conflicts of the twentieth century.
This second edition is thoroughly updated, and includes extended coverage of European integration, the rise of supra-governmental organizations, and the ‘global War on Terror'.
A support website provides supplementary exercises, questions and tutor guidance.

Format:Paperback
Forget everything you learned in school: here's a facinating introduction to what really went on through the 20th Century, written gently enough for first-year-students but with enough substance to earn its place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in international relations, wars or economics.

Bought this for my History module and am thoroughly impressed. Actually, Best (the author) is my lecturer and it's funny because I can imagine him almost reading the book to me when I read it - his style is flawless. It's almost like reading a book, he keeps you interested right until the end. Can't recommend enough.
