Scris de renumitul istoric Jeremy Black, acest ghid de referință fascinant, cu copertă cartonată, prezintă o istorie incredibilă a lumii moderne, frumos vizualizată cu imagini color pe tot parcursul cărții.
Written by leading historian Jeremy Black, this fascinating hardback reference guide charts an incredible history of the modern world, beautifully visualised with full-colour images throughout.
In this masterful account, Black explores the key themes that have shaped the history of the modern world since 1950. Eschewing a simple political narrative, he instead explores the roles of the environment, demographics, the economy and technology in driving change in the world.
The story begins in 1950, by which time a new world order had come into place, with Communism firmly established in Russia, Eastern Europe and China, decolonisation well underway in the old European empires, and the American monopoly on nuclear weaponry at an end, setting the stage for the Cold War.
