Modern Times Revised Edition
The World from the Twenties to the Nineties (Perennial Classics)
Paul Johnson
This book covers two major narratives of the 20th century: savage wars over ideology and scientists changing the course of history. Paul Johnson marks the start of the modern era with the proof of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity in 1919. He explores the lives of individuals who shaped society and tries to convince readers with his conservative viewpoint. This well-written and thought-provoking book provides much food for thought.
