This dramatic and comprehensive narrative history of the modern world covers all the great events, ideas and personalities of the six decades since the end of the First World War. Vivid and provocative, it tells of rulers and tyrants, democracy and oligarchy, politics and culture, good times and bad times, war and economics, alliances and betrayals, the great and not so great. "Throughout these years, the power of the State to do evil expanded with awesome speed. Its power to do good grew slowly and ambiguously" (Paul Johnson).
