International History of the Twentieth Century

Editorial Reviews
Review
This volume amounts to as definitive a study of international history in the twentieth century as is available anywhere in the world today. The authors, all specialists in their fields, offer authoritative accounts of key developments in international relations that reflect the latest scholarship, and have taken pains to ensure that the chapters relate to one another in a coherent fashion. As we wonder about the direction that world events will take in the new century, there is no better way than to start by comprehending the forces and movements that shaped the last hundred years. This textbook will provide an invaluable guide for this quest..
-Akira Iriye, Charles Warren Professor of History, Harvard University

While this text was written specifically for undergraduate level students, it will also be useful to non-academics seeking a readable and concise overview of the major events and conflicts that shaped 20th century international history

-History in Review

Book Description

This major new global history of the twentieth century is written by four prominent international historians for first-year undergraduates and upward. Using their thematic and regional expertise, the authors have produced an authoritative yet accessible account of the history of international relations in the last century, covering events in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas. They focus on the history of relations between states and on the broad ideological, economic and cultural forces that have influenced the evolution of international politics over the past one hundred years. Among the areas this book covers are:

* the decline of European hegemony over the international order
* the diffusion of power to the two superpowers
* the rise of newly independent states in Asia and Africa
* the course and consequences of three major global conflicts: the Great War, the Second World War and the Cold War.
