## Description

Review: The last of Hobsbawm's Quartet - A very important document on the 20th century Europe although the author has a pronounced leftist slant.
Review: A Grand Sweep - This is a magnificent book and can best be described as a grand sweep of the 20th Century. Considering that we went through two world wars, this was indeed the age of extremes. I'd like to quibble, as a good Asian, and say that he did not pay enough attention to the changes in Asia and Africa. He did mention these regions, but the weight given to them is low. Having said that, the western countries did dominate the age and, in the process, caused a lot of mayhem. Eric Hobsbawm was an excellent historian and a man who could weave a tale together. Weaving the complex threads of the 20th century into a composite whole is a magnificent achievement.
