Description
The War of the World: History's Age of Hatred by Niall Ferguson The early twentieth century was a time of unprecedented globalisation, wealth and education, but it was also a period of rising tensions and conflict. Niall Ferguson explores how a combination of economic boom and bust, the decline of empires, and the spread of poisonous ideas about race led to a century of war that lasted for 100 years. From the battlefields of Poland to the killing fields of Cambodia, Ferguson reveals how the seeds of hatred were sown and how they ultimately led to devastating consequences. This is a thought-provoking and dramatic account of human evil that challenges our understanding of history and its relevance to the present day.
