The World Since 1945 by Keith Robbins
Keith Robbins account of world history since 1945 provides a framework for making sense of the political and social developments of the period. The underlying theme of the book is the tension between the world conceived as a unity and as a diversity. From this perspective, the author discusses the impulse towards globalization in the aftermath of World War II, the divisions inherent in the Cold War and the shifting allegiances and conflicts in the decades which followed. He ends with an assessment of our position with regard to world unity and disunity as the millennium approaches.
