Book Reviews of A People's History of the World: From the Stone Age to the New Millennium, New Edition
Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Conventional history tells us the 20th Century's most significant events were World War I, World War II and perhaps the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Francis Fukuyama famously suggested liberal democracy within global capitalism eventually triumphed. A people's history takes a refreshingly different and more intelligent approach. Popular movements and the ideas behind them (which are usually overlooked) like the Second Spanish Republic in the 1930s, Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia 1968 are given the attention they deserve. This book covers not just the 20th Century but the whole of human history (with a brief chronology at the start of every part) and is one of the best history books I have ever read. It should be compulsory reading for history students, but also an inspiration for everyone to take decisions for themselves instead of leaving power in the hands of the few.
