A narrative history of the 20th century, this volume takes the story up to 1933, covering World War I and the empires and lives that had been destroyed by it. It examines developments in production and culture, and amazing inventions such as aircraft, and the introduction of diesel and oil fuels to replace coal and steam. The volume ends with the election of Roosevelt as the President of the United States, and inauguration of Hitler as Chancellor of Germany.
