Full Description
"The Twentieth Century World" is a narrative account of twentieth century world history, with a distinctive analytical framework that focuses on the rivalries between major world nations. For this Canadian edition, we have streamlined the writing style to make it more accessible to first year students; improved the pedagogy; moderated the US - centered point of view; and where appropriate, added Canadian material and perspectives. Keylor is a highly respected author, known for the accuracy of his work. Building on this core strength with sound pedagogy, clear writing, and new Canadian content, we believe that our text will be far better suited to this market than its US competitor.
