Description: "This history of the twentieth century, our age, dares to take a new approach. Eschewing the standard political history of the West, Jeremy Black points up the deeper issues of the century and those which will surely determine our path in the twenty-first: belief, race, gender, technology and the environment. At the same time, there is a determined engagement with other continents, especially Asia and Africa. At this crucial turning point in history, the compelling new perspectives offered by The World in the Twentieth Century could not be more topical."--Jacket.
