This concise perspective on 20th-century world history covers science and technology, economics, political and social developments, international relations and culture. The work is intended as a core book; it includes thorough attention to pre-1914 history and features excerpts from the diaries and autobiographies of prominent figures, such as Churchill, Hitler, Gandhi, Kruschev and Mao, to personalize ideas and events. The fourth edition reflects recent world changes: the break-up of the Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany and the resurgence of nationalism. It also includes two chapters on post-1945 Middle East and a new postscript to a changing century. An instructor's manual for the text (0-07-023492-2) is also available.

This text provides a brief world history and aims to be absent of any ideological slant. It explores developments in science and technology, economics, political and social developments, international relations and religion and culture. The basic facts about the 20th century are provided, while the text weaves in sufficient analysis to enable the student to understand why major events in history have occurred. This edition features a new chapter on the post-Cold War period and sections have been added throughout the book to provide more of the "whys" of history. The book is divided into three main sections and each section is then organized with a thematic focus on the "general trends". Excerpts from the diaries and autobiographies of 20th-century figures are also included.

Written by a diverse group of scholars who bring their regional expertise together, this unique and comprehensive text uses organization as a key tool to help students appreciate this important period in global history. Its clear prose weaves basic factual information and analysis to create a ‘student-friendly' text while still allowing for professors' personal interpretation. An introductory chapter introduces five key topics or themes whose influence on the various developments and events in the twentieth century are chronologically discussed throughout the text. More analysis, less detail and refined prose combine with new and retained features to make the 6th edition of 'The Twentieth Century: A Brief Global History' a best selling text for the 20th Century World course.

Stereotypes of Arabs in traditional desert dress or ominous military fatigues are ever-present in popular writing. The use of these undifferentiated villains is a shortcut to the reader's psyche which writers often use to simply the task of characterization. To the detriment of the U.S. national interest, as well as the interest of truth, these stereotypes reinforce and promote the pre-judgement of one side involved in future Middle East peace settlements and policies. Professor Janice Terry exposes this bias in biographies, "instant" histories, mysteries, and novels from Exodus to The Haj.
