Corballys superbly accessible account of the grave challenges faced by the world and its inhabitants during the twentieth century will make this an ideal textbook for students. This is global history from the bottom up that allows us to understand why and how people across the world experienced increasing levels of inequality and environmental degradation. * James Vernon, Professor of History, University of California, Berkeley, USA * The Twentieth-Century World is a fine book, clearly written, persuasively argued, and offering a new approach to global history across the last 100 years.
