Book Suggestion - Martin Gilbert 'A History of the 20th Century'


Lockdown 3 (or is it still Lockdown 1?) here in the UK has given me a chance to get stuck into some of the larger tomes that have been sitting on my shelves, in this case, for quite a few years. I picked up this 3 volume work to try and plug some of the gaps in my history knowledge. Its a superb, readable and "to the point" account of the century and covers all areas in good detail. In terms of quizzing its pretty much perfect for picking up the key figures, facts, dates and events and at just over 2000 pages for the whole collection, its an effort well worth making
