Description
The Twentieth-Century World is a narrative account of twentieth-century world history, with extensive coverage given to the US, Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The book uses a distinctive analytical framework in order to examine the rivalries between major world nations. The forth edition has been thoroughly updated, to take the narrative all the way through the end of the twentieth century, Keylor has expanded the book's coverage of very recent events such as the Middle East peace process, NATO expansion, negotiations for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and the war in Chechnya. The book includes 27 maps for ease of reference. With its up-to-date bibliography and its clear, concise style, the book is perfect for undergraduate classes on twentieth-century world history.
