FULL COLOR
Perspectives on Modern World History offers a fresh look — from multiple perspectives — at momentous events
such as the end of apartheid in South Africa, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the Tiananmen
Square protests. Each volume opens with background information, including primary source material, covering the
periods leading up to, during and after the event. Then, each volume offers numerous multinational perspectives on
the controversies surrounding the event and the current implications or lasting effects. Each volume concludes with
first-person narratives from people who lived through or were affected by the event.
Essays are compiled from a variety of international sources and are edited and introduced to provide
context for readers unfamiliar with the historical event. Perspectives on Modern World History promotes
critical thinking skills, supports debate assignments, increases global awareness and enhances
the understanding of international perspectives.
Key features of each volume:
• World map
