Critics heralded the first two volumes A History of the Twentieth Century as 'masterly' (Boston Globe) and 'deft', illuminating, and fascinating' (Henry Kissenger). Now, the final work in Martin Gilbert's magisterial and acclaimed threevolume history brilliantly charts the course of the twentieth century's last five decades. Here are gripping narrative accounts of the wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Bosnia; the postwar reconstruction of Europe; apartheid; the arms race; the moon landing ; and the extraordinary advances in medical science. Mao started a cultural revolution, Martin Luther King, Jr., and John F. Kennedy were assassinated, and the computer revolution was begun. The result is nothing less than extraordinary.
