  • "The 100 years of the 20th Century were without question the bloodiest in history, far more violent in relative as well as absolute terms than any previous era. In War of the World: The New History of the 20th Century, acclaimed historian Professor Niall Ferguson presents a major six-part series proposing an explosive challenge to common assumptions about the 20th century. According to Professor Ferguson, we need to rethink our understanding of the 20th century. There were not, he says, two world wars and a 'cold' war, but a single Hundred Years' War. It was not nationalism that powered these conflicts, but empires. The driving force was not class or socialism but race. And finally, it was not the West that triumphed, in fact power slowly and steadily migrated towards the new empires of the East. An extensive chronology is presented of the events that shaped this period as the 'age of hatred' and shows how bloody conflict ebbed and flowed throughout the period. War of the World: The New History of the 20th Century is an engaging documentary that recasts our perceptions of the last 100 years."
