Más información sobre el libro

Spanning the years between the outbreak of WWI and the Persian Gulf crisis of 1990, this surprisingly comprehensive (though tipped toward Britain and the British Empire) reference contains some 2,000 alphabetically-arranged entries covering figures, movements, and incidents which have influenced the course of history worldwide. As well as political and economic history, the entries also cover influential social, cultural, and technological dimensions of 20th- century life.
