About the Author: The official biographer of Winston Churchill and a leading historian on the Twentieth Century, Sir Martin Gilbert was a scholar and an historian who, though his 88 books, has shown there is such a thing as “true history” Born in London in 1936, Martin Gilbert was educated at Highgate School, and Magdalen College, Oxford, graduating with First Class Honours. He was a Research Scholar at St Anthony’s College, and became a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford in 1962, and an Honorary Fellow in 1994. After working as a researcher for Randolph Churchill, Gilbert was chosen to take over the writing of the Churchill biography upon Randolph’s death in 1968, writing six of the eight volumes of biography and editing twelve volumes of documents. In addition, Gilbert has written pioneering and classic works on the First and Second World Wars, the Twentieth Century, the Holocaust, and Jewish history.

O livro de história definitivo para entender o nosso tempo Ano a ano, Martin Gilbert narra os eventos mais importantes do mundo: desde o despontar da aviação até o florescimento da era tecnológica; da Primeira Guerra Mundial à posse de Franklin Roosevelt como presidente dos Estados Unidos e Hitler como chanceler da Alemanha; das guerras na África do Sul, China, Etiópia, Espanha, Coreia, Vietnã e Bósnia ao Apartheid, a corrida armamentista, a aterrissagem na lua e a alvorada da era computacional. Gilbert vai da Revolução Húngara aos confrontos entre israelenses e palestinos; do colapso do comunismo no leste europeu à dissolução da União Soviética. Como sempre, Gilbert intermeia influências da arte, literatura, música e religião assim como ressalta desastres tanto naturais quanto provocados pelo homem para melhor compreensão dos fatos.
