The World in the Twentieth Century
"A triumph....Jeremy Black has given us the most truly global and most nearly comprehensive history of the twentieth century. He does justice to vital but previously under-exploited themes: science, ecology, religion. He touches parts of the world other historians cannot reach"  Felipe Fernandez-Armesto"Black's book works well as a wide-ranging survey of twentieth-century world history"HistoryVol. 88, Iss. 2, No. 290, Apr 2003
