As a result of the collaboration of the respected British historian, writer and journalist Dan Jones and the talented Brazilian artist Marina Amaral, a unique visualization of the history of wars and revolutions in the period from 1914 to 1945 was created. This book contains approximately 200 photographs, each of which was originally taken in black and white and colored specifically for this edition. Here is the epic, gripping story of four decades of global conflict that began with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and ended with the destruction of Hiroshima with the explosion of the first atomic bomb in history. It is a story not only of the gigantic fires of World Wars I and II, but also of ideological and economic confrontations, which sparked them, but also about the revolution in Russia, civil wars in Ireland and Spain, the US invasion of Latin America, colonial wars in Morocco, Ethiopia and Palestine, about the “internal fronts” of the warring powers and the impact of all these tragic events on the lives of ordinary people on all continents. The “Long War” of the 20th century shaped the world we live in today.
