{"product_id":"the-age-of-extremes-a-history-of-the-world-1914-1991","title":"The Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914-1991","description":"Dividing the century into the Age of Catastrophe, 1914–1950, the Golden Age, 1950–1973, and the Landslide, 1973–1991, Hobsbawm marshals a vast array of data into a volume of unparalleled inclusiveness, vibrancy, and insight, a work that ranks with his classics The Age of Empire and The Age of Revolution.\n\nIn the short century between 1914 and 1991, the world has been convulsed by two global wars that swept away millions of lives and entire systems of government. Communism became a messianic faith and then collapsed ignominiously. Peasants became city dwellers, housewives became workers—and, increasingly leaders. Populations became literate even as new technologies threatened to make print obsolete. And the driving forces of history swung from Europe to its former colonies.\n\nIncludes 32 pages of photos.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679730052\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0679730052.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hobsbawm, Eric\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
