Explore the global history of politics, economics, and society from the First World War to the turn of the millennium in this comprehensive sequel to C.A. Bayly’s groundbreaking The Birth of the Modern World, 1780-1914. Written by a leading historian, this sophisticated study weaves a clear narrative that examines key drivers of change such as state, capital, and communication on a global scale.

Bayly challenges traditional views by questioning whether warfare was the predominant force in the twentieth century. He also delves into the resurgence of local conflicts and the enduring story of inequality, which has both shaped and been influenced by historical events over the past hundred years.

This book offers a coherent, comparative overview that explores themes central to social, cultural, and intellectual life throughout the long twentieth century, making it an essential read for historians and anyone interested in understanding the complex forces that have reshaped our world.
