An Age of Progress?: Clashing Twentieth-Century Global Forces
‘In this significant and challenging yet highly readable book, the noted historian Walter Moss weighs an impressive array of evidence to assess the world's successes and failures, advances and retreats during this turbulent time of accelerating change. His insights always are intriguing, his conclusions often unexpected, his opinions judicious. This is far more than a history of the twentieth century: it is a sobering guide to the lasting import of what happened.'H. J. de Blij, Professor of Geography at Michigan State  University; and author of ‘Why Geography Matters’
