Description
Based on the premise that the single most important trend of the 20th century has been the increasing interaction among states and peoples on a global scale, Brower discusses the international history of the major powers, the role of ideology in political history, and the evolution of world economic relations. This survey takes a global perspective on the rise of the superpowers, the emergence of an international industrial economy, the growing importance of the "Third World" following decolonization and integrated within the historical narrative is coverage of the global impact of the major wars and political revolutions.
