A History of the Twentieth Century by Fellow Martin Gilbert

A History of the Twentieth Century by Fellow Martin Gilbert

The twentieth century was one of the most remarkable eras in the history of humanity. Seldom has so much changed in so many areas of human endeavor as in the period between 1900 and 1999. The abridged version of Martin Gilbert's critically acclaimed trilogy is a sweeping narrative of that time.

A History of the Twentieth Century presents a wealth of information in a highly readable style, including accounts of World War I and World War II, the Great Depression, Apartheid, the Cold War and humanity's first steps on the Moon. Gilbert reaches to all corners of the globe in this authoritative volume, chronicling war, disease, religious movements, the arts and sciences and much more.Sir Martin Gilbert, the author of many historical works, was appointed official biographer of Winston Churchill in 1968. He wrote six of the eight volumes of that landmark biographical series and also compiled ten volumes of Churchill documents. In addition, he is the author of a definitive history of the Holocaust, a series of twelve historical atlases, and comprehensive studies of both World War I and World War II. Since 1962, he has been a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford (an Honorary Fellow since 1994). He was knighted in 1995."A truly staggering project ... One's attention rarely lags throughout this masterful chronicle." -- Washington Post
