The Twentieth Century World: An International History:Canadian Edition - Softcover
The Twentieth Century World is a narrative account of twentieth century world history with a distinctive analytical framework that focuses on the rivalries between major world nations. For this Canadian edition we have streamlined the writing style to make it more accessible to first year students; imroved the pedagogy; moderated the US - centered point of view; and where appropriate, added Canadian material and perspectives. Keylor is a highly respected author, known for the accuracy of his work. Building on this core strength with sound pedagogy, clear writing, and new Canadian content, we believe that our text will be far better suited to this market than its US competitor.

Review:
"The Twentieth Century World is the best single volume survey of international history, and it is even better in this new edition. Clear, comprehensive, and beautifully balance, it has been a consistent favorite among my students. I don't remember any textbook getting the same kind of uniformly enthusiastic reviews."--James Sheehan, Stanford University
"A leading text on international history since 1900, now updated to include more coverage of the non-Western world, NGOs, humans rights, and environmental issues. Judicious, authoritative, and comprehensive, this work is highly recommended."--Erez Manela, Harvard University
"This fine synthesis adroitly combines regional, national, and transnational levels of analysis into a coherent narrative of twentieth century history. It provides an excellent guide to both the violence that marked this period in history as well humanity's efforts to cope with it."--Emily S. Rosenberg, University of California, Irvine
"The clearest and most useful text on world politics since 1900. My students consistently give it a thumbs up, and so do I."--Charles Lipson, University of Chicago
