  Martin Gilbert's three-volume history of the 20th century, of which this volume is the first, tells the gripping story of a century which has witnessed staggering technological change, scientific advances, cultural and artistic achievements, and brutal war on a scale never seen before. This volume takes the story up to 1933. It includes a chilling narrative of the World War I and concludes with the election of Roosevelt as President of the USA, and the inauguration of Hitler as Chancellor of Germany. All the significant events, achievements and disasters - political, military, colonial, artistic - are here.
