About the Book
Review Quotes
What reviewers said about the first edition:
“As definitive a study of international history in the twentieth century as is available anywhere in the world today.” Akira Iriye, Charles Warren Professor of History, Harvard University, USA
“Students will be grateful to the authors of this textbook for providing such a clear and coherent guide to the tumultuous developments of the twentieth century and the historical controversies that they have generated. It is particularly important because it allows students to understand the century as a whole rather than one divided by the first and second world wars and the cold war.” Sir Lawrence D. Freedman, Professor of War Studies, King's College London, UK
“An engaging and well-written text.” Philip F. Riley, James Madison University, USA
“My students are required to read it from cover to cover. …Students come away from it with a sound grounding in twentieth century international relations. Most of the themes used are regularly in the news and students are appreciative of this and motivated by the knowledge that their learning is relevant to the ‘real world’.” Steve Mullins, Associate Professor of History, Central Queensland University, Australia
