Viac o knihe
The Times History of the 20th Century is a major treatment of this turbulent century. Its richly interwoven tapestry of text, maps and photographs brings the century's main themes and underlying stories into sharp and arresting focus. Richard Overy's compelling and analytical text takes the world from the pomp of Europe's imperial heyday and the cataclysm of the First World War through the Great Depression, the Second World War and the Cold War to the uncertainties of today. Special attention is paid to the themes and challenges which have faced humanity throughout the century: the environment, health, science, leisure and technology. With over 300 colour maps and hundreds of photographs, it is both a visual feast and a work of substantial scholarship.
