A History Of The Modern World From 1917 to the 1980s by Paul Johnson

This dramatic account begins with the end of the WW I. He traces the interplay of the many resulting forces during the arcadia Twenties, the desperate Thirties, and the catastrophe of WW II. Then the rise of the two superpowers, the Communist revolution in China, the decolonisation of Asia and Africa and the tragic aftermath of independence, the recovery of democracy and capitalism in W. Europe, the rise of the Pacific enterprise economies, the radicalising of Latin America, and the hegemony of the United States followed by its attempted suicide in the years 1965-80
