FULL-COLOR Perspectives on Modern World History from Greenhaven Press offers a fresh look — from multiple perspectives — at momentous events in modern world history. Focusing on events such as the end of apartheid in South Africa, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the Tiananmen Square protests, every volume opens with background information — including primary source material — covering the periods leading up to, during and after the event. Then, each volume offers an in-depth, multinational perspective on the controversies surrounding the event and the current implications or long-lasting effects. Each volume concludes with first-person narratives from people who lived through or were directly impacted by the event.

Created specifically for high school, early college and general interest researchers and readers, Perspectives on Modern World History promotes critical thinking skills, supports debate assignments, increases global awareness and enhances the understanding of international perspectives.
