The World in the Twentieth Century by Jeremy Black

The World in the Twentieth Century by Jeremy Black

From the vantage point of the 21st century, this short history looks back to the age of extremes. Jeremy Black goes beyond the two world wars to focus on the great themes of the 20th century: the crisis of the earth's environment, religion, fundamentalism and politics.

"A triumph...Jeremy Black has given us the most truly global and most nearly comprehensive history of the twentieth century. He does justice to vital but previously under-exploited themes: science, ecology, religion. He touches parts of the world other historians cannot reach"  Felipe Fernandez-Armesto

"Black's book works well as a wide-ranging survey of twentieth-century world history" History Vol. 88, Iss. 2, No. 290, Apr 2003

Jeremy Black is the editor of the Dorling Kindersley Atlas of World History and has over 30 single authored books to his name and more than 100 edited works. He has also been involved in several productions for radio and TV. His Modern British History (Macmillan 2000) has shown how a successful history of part of the modern world that does not focus on political history can be produced.
