About The Book
A History of the World by J.A.S. Grenville offers a comprehensive survey of the major events and personalities that have shaped the world from 1900 onward. This thoroughly updated second edition incorporates discussions on pivotal historical moments such as 9/11, the second Gulf War, and takes into account the latest historical research.

The book covers key topics such as:

• The rivalry between European nations from 1900-1914

• The Depression and the rise of Fascism during the 1920s and 1930s

• The global impact of the Cold War

• Decolonization and its lasting effects

• The continuing conflict in the Middle East

Why This Book Stands Out:

• Thoroughly Updated: Includes new research and discussions on significant events like 9/11 and the second Gulf War.

• Comprehensive Coverage: The book spans the global landscape, offering insight into a wide range of topics, from the World Wars to modern political struggles.

• Fascinating and Authoritative: This is a highly accessible account suitable for general readers and students of world history alike, with detailed examinations of major historical events.

With over 1000 pages of detailed analysis, A History of the World provides a broad yet in-depth understanding of the world’s history over the last century.
