Barry Jones chronicles the political upheavals, technological revolutions, and social convulsions that have defined human civilisation from the mid-nineteenth century onward, drawing together vast threads of global history into a single, authoritative compendium.\n\nJones writes with the confidence of a polymath, synthesising military conflicts, ideological struggles, and cultural shifts into a coherent and compelling narrative arc. The work argues that the modern age is defined not merely by progress, but by the ever-present shadow of catastrophe — a tension that renders each era of apparent advancement simultaneously fragile and perilous. Readers who dare to confront history in its full, unvarnished complexity will find this volume an indispensable and thought-provoking companion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609640472795,"sku":"2026100010874-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f706ea11-0c2e-4a0e-b61e-5f89607b91c0.png?v=1791764326","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010874-secondhand-age-of-apocalypse-compendium-of-history-1860-to-the-present-day","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
