Book Description
From the Cold War to the Berlin Wall to the crisis in the Balkans--here is a compelling look at the people and events that have shaped our world.
In this, the second half of his narrative history of the twentieth century, Edward Kantowicz explores the key events, personalities, and ideas that have shaped the globe since World War II. Kantowicz highlights the most significant events of the period--including the Cold War between the superpowers and the Second and Third World revolts against imperialism--in prose as accessible as the nightly news. This work provides valuable perspective as we leave the most tumultuous century in history and begin a new one.
