Twentieth Century World

Editorial Reviews
Review
"[This material] is absolutely essential to any understanding of the twentieth century, and I am delighted to see it included. The 'Titanic' vignette that begins the chapter is apt and useful-it is a good metaphor for the century and fixes attention well. ... The content in this chapter is well presented, reasonable, and readable. It significantly improves the quality of the book and makes it more usable than was the earlier edition. The impact of industrialization, the growth of mass society, the growing power differences between the core and periphery-these are all treated well, and they provide the background needed to understand why 1914 occurred at all and how it created the consequences that flowed from it."
