The Times history of the 20th century - Richard Overy

A major new edition of a best-selling classic of contemporay history

The Times History of the 20th Century is a sumptuous overview of this century of paradox and progress, a book as rich and complex as the century itself. This major new edition, to be published on the eve of the new millennium and rejacketed in line with the richly distinctive new Times thematic cover style, now brings the story completely up to date. Its cleverly interwoven tapestry of text, maps and pictures brings the whole story of the 20th century into sharp and provocative focus.
