Which flashpoint turned the tide of the major battles of history? What made Winston Churchill more than a politician and Rosa Parks more than just a woman on a bus? What was the big Beatlemania trigger? Flashpoints in History identifies the key moments that defined eras, people and events. With bite-sized overviews, clear timelines and watershed historical moments called out, this book offers a lively, accessible history of the twentieth century, covering everything from Hiroshima to Apartheid, the launch of the internet to the panic over Y2K, from the 1929 Wall Street Crash to the impact of the pill. Details of major events that have shaped our world today are paired with profiles of the key players including Nelson Mandela, Edmund Hillary and John F. Kennedy. Each page features quotations and striking photographs that bring the extraordinary century to life.
