Ten major historical events are treated by both short factual summaries and longer interpretive essays. The introductions are penned by the editors, Thackeray and Findling (history, Indiana U.

The ten topics examined are presented in chronological order, examining the Industrial Revolution, the Seven Years War, the Napoleonic Wars, the rise of the British Empire, the Reform Act of 1832, the Great Exhibition of 1851, the movements for Irish independence and women's suffrage, the two World Wars, and the Thatcher era. Each essay is followed by a selected bibliography. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
