Books
Europe in the 20th Century by George Lightheim
This is an integrated and thought-provoking account of European civilisation
from 1900 to 1970. Political and economic affairs, and the two great wars,
occupy a central place.
Pity the Nation by Robert Fisk
In this epic account of the Lebanon conflict, journalist Fisk offers a
contrast to official doctrine. His decades of experience in the Middle
East allow him to talk incisively on Western blindness.
War and Society in Britain 1899–1948 by Rex Pope
The Boer War and the two world wars are studied here in terms of their
political, economic and social after-effects in Britain.
