Modern Times: The World from the Twenties to the Eighties

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
