The fifth edition of this bestselling book caters to school and college students studying Modern World History, as well as undergraduates in History and International Relations. It serves as a complete, engaging course suitable for both individual study and classroom use, and it is also valuable for general readers interested in understanding the current state of the world. Key features include a new chapter on Latin America's evolving relationship with the USA, updated sections on the Arab Spring, the 2008 financial crisis, and the European Union's challenges. It also covers the transformation of communism in China, the USA from Bush to Obama, Russia under Putin and Medvedev, and ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflicts, alongside the 'war against terrorism.' The content encompasses a survey of international relations and warfare from 1900 to 2012, the historical dynamics of Europe, the rise and fall of fascism and communism, and the international affairs of major superpowers. It addresses significant conflicts, decolonization in Africa, political Islam, and global issues like climate change and economic crises. The book also highlights historical disagreements and new interpretations. Author Norman Lowe brings extensive teaching experience and has authored other notable works in history. A fully updated companion website offers document question examples for each chapter.
