Perspectives on Modern World History from Greenhaven Press offers a fresh look -- from multiple perspectives -- at momentous 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.
Each 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.
