Description

Product Description A masterly synthesis of the history of the contemporary world, The World Since 1945 offers the ideal introduction to the events of the period between the end of the Second World War and the present day. P. M. H. Bell and Mark Gilbert balance a clear narrative with in-depth analysis to guide the reader through the aftermath of the Second World War, the Cold War, decolonization, Détente and the Arab-Israeli Conflict, up to the on-going ethnic strife and political instability of the 21st century. The new edition has been thoroughly revised to fully reflect developments in the history and historiography of the post-war world, and features five new chapters on the post-Cold War world, covering topics including: - The rise and fall of American hegemony - The decline of Europe - The rise of Asia - Political Islam as a global force - The role of human rights The World Since 1945 challenges us to better understand what happened and why in the post-war period and shows the ways in which the past continues to exercise a profound influence on the present. It is essential reading for any student of contemporary history. Review The literature on international history since 1945 has become so vast and elaborate during the past decades that we badly need a compact survey of the kind that Philip Bell and Mark Gilbert provide. This consistently reliable and highly readable book will help readers to understand the main events that shaped the world we live in today. --Kiran Klaus Patel, Maastricht University, the NetherlandsThe authors of the second edition of The World since 1945 have done readers a great service. Out of the complicated history of our times, they have produced an impressively streamlined and accessible account. It is recommended for anyone wishing to understand more about the forces that produced todays world. --Mary Elise Sarotte, University of Southern California Dornsife, USAThere could be no better person than Mark Gilbert to help revise and bring up to date Philip Bells classic account of post-1945 international history. The books elegance of style, thematic coherence and mastery of the issues are all maintained, making it an essential purchase for students and specialists alike. --Christopher Hill, University of Cambridge, UK About the Author P.M.H. Bell was formerly Reader in History at the University of Liverpool (UK)
