  Commerce and migration, television and the Web suggest growing world interconnection, while the proliferation of nation-states and religious divisions tell of separation and conflict. This history grounds both themes in the people and events of the last 50 years of the 20th century.

  The second half of the twentieth century was dominated by the unfolding drama of the Cold War, from the Berlin blockade to the fall of the Berlin Wall. A booming global economy has had its sinister shadow in the apparently insoluble crises that havebeset much of the Third World. Above all, peace in the West has been offset by wars of unbelievable murderousness elsewhere. Reynolds' account is both an overview of the trends underlying this spectacular and awful variety, and an insight into the lives led in its midst.
