Features: This series of books can be summarized into two characteristics: First, they present authoritative knowledge, derived from authoritative works, and are objective in nature, with little personal opinion or bias. If there is anything that leans slightly toward "bias," it is the aspiration for peace and tolerance. I hope everyone can tolerate or even agree with my "bias." Second, in my books, any knowledge, whether historical, philosophical, or related to literature, art, science, or geography, will be presented in a clear, accessible, and even witty manner, allowing readers to easily absorb and digest it. Regarding this point, I ask you—dear readers—to open any chapter or section of this book.
This book is the sequel to the widely known Story of Western History and is also an engaging and thought-provoking account of modern Western history. The author continues to narrate the story in a storytelling style, using lucid and accessible language, covering the convening of the Paris Peace Conference after World War II, the Second World War, and the development and changes of representative Western countries from the late 20th century to the early 1990s. The thrilling events, grand scenes, influential figures in human history, and little-known anecdotes and details transport readers through a time tunnel, allowing them to once again feel the pulse of modern Western society. This book serves as an introductory guide to modern Western history. Faced with the numerous events and complex threads of the modern Western world, readers will find it easy to grasp the key points after reading this book.
