A Short History of the Twentieth Century

Think you know the twentieth century? This Penguin volume distils a hundred years of revolutions, wars, innovations, and upheavals into one remarkably accessible narrative. It's the kind of book that helps you join the dots between events you half-remember from school and the world we're living in now. Beautifully structured, wonderfully clear, and never dry. Perfect for history buffs wanting the big picture, students seeking context, or anyone who loves understanding how we got here.
