FIVE BOOKS IN ONE. The perfect guide for background reading or revision.
World War One: from the pre-war tensions, the assassination that sparked the war to its bloody conclusion over four years later.
The Russian Revolution: from the circumstances behind the rise of Lenin and the Bolsheviks, to the consequences of their struggle for a new socialist utopia.
Nazi Germany: from the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party, his domestic policies and foreign dealings, the racism and murder to World War Two and the Holocaust.
World War Two: the war that, unlike any other, was total war.
The Cold War: for almost half a century the East and the West eyed each other with suspicion and often hostility.
