Volume One, \"1900-1933,\" chronicles the century's opening decades, tracing the collapse of empires, the carnage of the First World War, and the fragile peace that gave rise to fascism and totalitarian rule, while Volume Two, \"1933-1951,\" details the descent into the Second World War, the horrors of the Holocaust, and the dawn of the atomic and Cold War ages. Drawing on original documents, letters, and firsthand testimony, Gilbert builds his account year by year, giving readers a ground level view of how ordinary lives intersected with the century's defining catastrophes and triumphs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572622692571,"sku":"2026100011418-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5e49da47-8cb1-42fe-bbc2-a8d6a869f59f.png?v=1791166988","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011418-secondhand-a-history-of-the-twentieth-century-two-volume-set","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
