ition of the famous History of the World: From the late 19th to the early 21st century, this book is regarded as a comprehensive textbook that vividly captures the history of the world from the end of the 19th century through the turbulent 20th century to the early 21st century, till 2008. With a focus on the global events and news, this book traces the epoch-making events throughout the period and shows how intricately interlinked are all the events. The book opens by tracing the events that led to the First World War to its culmination and the consequent failed efforts at maintaining peace that again led to the more grievous World War II. Although major impetus has been given to the world wars, a global perspective has also been presented in the book that culminated with the events of 9/11 and after. The turbulent socio-political changes that occurred within this period have also been iterated in this book. With the aim to trace and showcase the links and interlinks between various events, that have been occurring since the late nineteenth century, to portray the reason behind the contemporary global socio-political scenario, the book has won applause from critics and readers alike.
