The Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914-1991 (History of the Modern World)

Dividing the century into the Age of Catastrophe, 1914â€“1950, the Golden Age, 1950â€“1973, and the Landslide, 1973â€“1991, Hobsbawm marshals a vast array of data into a volume of unparalleled inclusiveness, vibrancy, and insight, a work that ranks with his classics The Age of Empire and The Age of Revolution.
Â Â In the short century between 1914 and 1991, the world has been convulsed by two global wars that swept away millions of lives and entire systems of government. Communism became a messianic faith and then collapsed ignominiously. Â Peasants became city dwellers, housewives became workersâ€”and, increasingly leaders. Â Populations became literate even as new technologies threatened to make print obsolete. Â And the driving forces of history swung from Europe to its former colonies.
