Book excerpt: Written by a diverse group of authors who are experts in their field, the sixth edition of this widely-used text continues to meet the needs of professors and students alike. Its clear prose weaves basic factual information and sufficient analysis to create a user-friendly text for students while still allowing for professors' personal interpretation. The first chapter introduces five key topics whose influence on the various developments and events in the 20th century are chronologically discussed throughout the text. Additions to this edition include further analysis of earlier periods based on recent scholarship, colourful new quotations, new suggested sources, more emphasis on social, economic, cultural and women's history and an updated chapter on the post-Cold War world. More analysis, less detailed and refined prose combine with these new and retained features to make this a thorough, balanced and accessible source for this past century's history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a source-based approach, The Communist Experience in the Twentieth Century is the first text designed to help students, general readers, and scholars understand how people constructed Communist ways of life around the world. Taking a global approach, it extends beyond Russia and Eastern Europe to examine the lives of people in China, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Kyrgyzstan, Algeria, Peru, Cuba, and elsewhere. The book provides an inside look at the Communist experience, where people were--sometimes simultaneously so--enthusiasts, reshapers, resisters, and victims of an ideological project that was (and, for some, still is) both humanity's darkest nightmare and brightest hope.

Book excerpt: This book offers a narrative, chronological, and regionally organized approach to twentieth century world history. Throughout the presentation, three themes emphasize the importance of ideology, conflict, and technology to the century's events. Its broad and inclusive focus also pays attention to necessary detail and specifics, and incorporates relevant material into the book, to give readers an uninterrupted historical narrative. A three-part organization covers: The Decline of European Hegemony, 1900--1945; The Age of the Superpowers, 1945--1989; and The World Order in Transition, 1989--Present. Balanced coverage of major world regions includes Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the non-western world in general. A focus on both the First and Second World Wars enables readers to examine twentieth century history's theme of the primacy of conflict. For armchair historians with particular interest in the twentieth century world.
