Product Description

Dividing the century into the Age of Catastrophe, 1914-1950, the Golden Age, 1950-1973, and the Landslide, 1973-1991, Hobsbawm marshals a vast array of data into a volume of unparalleled inclusiveness, vibrancy, and insight, a work that ranks with his classics The Age of Empire and The Age of Revolution. Includes 32 pages of photos.

First Sentence
Lines of grey muttering faces, masked with fear, They leave their trenches, going over the top, While time ticks blank and busy on their wrists, And hope, with furtive eyes and grappling fists, Flounders in mud. Read the first page

Anyone who is interested in the 20th century history must read this book as the first step towards understanding this age of EXTREMES.If it is the details that attracts you, you can always look for other sources. However, if you make this one your guide-light, it will be much easier to figure out the facts.

Format:Paperback
This book is for the non-academic. His audience is the average person interested in modern history. He eschews the footnotes and scholarly references.
