Customer Reviews
Informative, Brilliant, Highly recommended! July 10, 2011

It is entertaining, sweeping and ambitious and, as such, is a wonderful one-volume introduction to the right-wing mind. Johnson offers a refreshing narrative history of the ups and downs of the 20th century. I found him to be objective and poignant. This textbook offers people who are interested in history a unique opportunity to put the Twentieth Century into perspective. I received this cheap textbook within days. It looks brand new. I highly recommend this vendor. Thank you very much.

"Johnson's insights are often brilliant and of value in their startling freshness."-Peter Loewenberg, Los Angeles Times

Nisbet,New York Times Book Review
"Wide ranging and quirky, this history of our times (since World War I) hits all the highlights and hot spots: the Russian Revolution, the rise of Hitler, World War II, and the 1980s A letter-day Mencken, Johnson is witty, gritty, and compulsively readable." -Foreign Affairs
