GKP Modern World History 4ed by Uddipan Mukherjee

The fourth updated edition of this widely read book on the history of the modern world explores the historical potpourri of the 21st century - from the Afghanistan-Pakistan region and Central Asian Republics to the Age of Terrorism that we are forced to negotiate with interspersed with the events in Bangladesh France and of course the apparently intractable Israel-Palestine issue. The previous (third edition) shed light on some siege battles of the modern world Indian indentured labour and Bengal Famine of 1943 among other issues. The present edition is an effort to synthesise contemporary and connected history with the history of the modern world since 1500. This effort would hopefully necessarily aid aspirants students and enthusiasts alike with the canvas broadening beyond the subject of History and in the process touching the horizons of Political Science as well as General Studies.Chapters at a Glance• Enlightenment and Modern Ideas• World Wars• Origins of Modern Politics• The World After World War II• The Industrial Revolution• Liberation From Colonial Rule• The Nation-State System• Decolonisation and Underdevelopment• Imperialism and Colonialism• Unification of Europe• Revolution and Counter-Revolution• Disintegration of Soviet union and the Rise of the Unipolar World
