A history of the twentieth century. Volume two : 1933-1951

The 20th century has been one of the most unique in human history. It has seen the rise of some of humanity's most important advances to date, as well as many of its most violent and terrifying wars. This is a condensed version of renowned historian Martin Gilbert's masterful examination of the century's history, offering the highlights of a three-volume work covering more than 3,000 pages. From the invention of aviation to the rise of the Internet, and from events and cataclysmic changes in Europe to those in Asia, Africa, and North America, Martin examines art, literature, war, religion, life and death, and celebration and renewal throughout the world, and throughout this turbulent and astonishing century.

  • "Critics heralded the first two volumes A History of the Twentieth Century as "masterly" (Boston Globe) and "deft", illuminating, and fascinating (Henry Kissinger). Now, the final work in Martin Gilbert's magisterial and acclaimed three-volume history brilliantly charts the course of the twentieth century's last five decades. Here are gripping narrative accounts of the wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Bosnia; the postwar reconstruction of Europe; apartheid; the arms race; the moon landing; and the extraordinary advances in medical science. Mao started a cultural revolution, Martin Luther King, Jr., and John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and the computer revolution was begun. The result is nothing less than extraordinary. With the same consummate skill with which he chronicled the events of the first 50 years of the 20th century, Sir Martin Gilbert brilliantly charts the course of that century's last five decades. This third volume contains accounts of the wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Bosnia, the postwar reconstruction of Europe, apartheid, the arms race, the moon landing, and advances in medical science. Three 8-page photo inserts-58 maps."@en
