The War of the World: A New History of the 20th Century
Acclaimed historian Professor Niall Ferguson presents this six-part documentary proposing an explosive challenge to common assumptions about the 20th century, without question the bloodiest in history. There were not, he says, two world wars and a 'cold' war, but a single Hundred Years' War. An extensive chronology of the events is presented which shows how bloody conflict ebbed and flowed throughout the period, shaping it as 'the age of hatred'.
