1. The Twentieth Century World And Beyond
An International History Since 1900
A sweeping, chronologically organized survey traces international developments from the turn of the 20th century through the late 20th century and into the contemporary era, examining how industrialization, imperial rivalry, and social and political ideologies—liberalism, nationalism, fascism, and communism—shaped two world wars, the Cold War, decolonization, and the emergence of new states; it emphasizes the interactions among great powers, transnational economic and technological change, the growth of international institutions, and cultural and social transformations that together explain the origins and consequences of modern global conflict, cooperation, and integration.
