History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900, A (平装) 0060875992

A magisterial history inspired by Winston Churchill's famous opus, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900 is an engrossing account of the twentieth century, with a unique perspective on our turbulent times. In 1900, where Churchill ended the fourth volume of his History of the English-Speaking Peoples, the United States had not yet emerged onto the world scene as a great power. Yet the coming century was to belong to the English-speaking peoples, who successively and successfully fought the Kaiser's Germany, Axis aggression and Soviet Communism, and who are now struggling against Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. Andrew Roberts's History proves especially invaluable as the United States today looks to other parts of the English-speaking world as its best, closest and most dependable allies.

“Roberts is one of Britain’s most talented and stylish young historians.” (Benjamin Schwarz, The Atlantic Monthly ) “Andrew Roberts has justly made a reputation for himself as one of today’s leading young British historians.” (Alistair Horne, The Wall Street Journal ) “This book is more entertaining than many novels.” (Allan Massie, The Daily Telegraph ) “Roberts has interesting and perceptive things to say about the more exotic aspects of the Anglo-Saxon diaspora.” (Richard Overy, The Sunday Telegraph ) “A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900 is written with verve.” (The Financial Times ) “In Andrew Roberts, the Anglo-American Special Relationship has found an advocate of Churchillian eloquence.” (Niall Ferguson, The Mail on Sunday )
