The No-Nonsense Guide To World History by Chris Brazier
Most people's knowledge of world history is hazy at its best. This No-Nonsense Guide gives a full picture, revealing the hidden histories and communities left out of conventional textbooks - from the civilisations of Africa, Asia and Latin America to the history of women, submerged beneath accounts of politics and war. This new edition is fully updated and revised to include a section on how the key issues of the 21st century - climate change, 9/11, the Iraq War, corporate power, China's headlong growth - fit into the broader patterns of world history.Since 1984, Chris Brazier has served as a co-editor of New Internationalist magazine. Vietnam: The Price of Peace and Raging Against the Machine (as editor) are two of his earlier books. He has also been the lead writer for UNICEF's The Status of the World's Children report since 2001.
