Description: THE DARK TIMES OF THE 1930s AFFECT US STILL TODAY IF YOU THINK THINGS LOOK BLEAK THESE DAYS, take a look back at the 1930s - a decade that witnessed the rise of fascism, the excesses of dictators, economic depression, widespread unemployment and pervasive fear. It led to the greatest catastrophe in history - World War II. Noted historian and author Piers Brendon looks at this turbulent period in this breathtaking work of scholarship and riveting reading. He writes about the effects of events in the US, Europe, the Middle and Far East, Asia, Russia - and also about the people who played crucial roles for good or for bad. It is an all-encompassing study that looks at all aspects of life in those dark days and it helps us see how things got to be the way they are today. THIS BOOK IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION and appears to be awaiting its first reader. It has clean and unmarked pages, a firm and square hardcover binding and an intact dust-jacket that we have fitted with a Brodart plastic cover for extra protection. There are no signs of previous ownership such as a name of bookplate Numerous black-and-white photographs illustrate the text and, in addition to a general index, there are copious source notes and a useful select bibliography. The Independent, UK, said this: "Brendon's canvas is global, and he paints every inch of it brilliantly."
