Modern Times: A History of the World from the 1920s to the Year 2000

Originally published in 1983 and named one of the Best Books of the Year by the New York Times , this bestselling history is now revised and updated and includes a new final chapter. “Truly a distinguished work of history… Modern Times unites historical and critical consciousness. It is far from being a simple chronicle, though a vast wealth of events and personages and historical changes fill it….We can take a great deal of intellectual pleasure in this book.” –Robert A. Nisbet, New York Times Book Review
