Through its lively and accessible narrative, The World Transformed: 1945 to Present provides students with an account of the political, socio-economic, and cultural developments that have shaped global events since 1945. The book’s focus on three central and profoundly interconnected stories–the unfolding of the Cold War, the growth of the international economy, and the developing world’s quest for political and economic independence–offers students a framework for understanding the past and making sense of the present. Attentive to overarching themes, individual historical figures, and diverse nations–and now substantially revised with a new Part 4 that examines world events since 1990–The World Transformed, Second Edition, is ideal for courses on post-1945 world history, international relations, or global topics.
