This book changes one's popular perception of world history. I am very much enlightended on reading this book. Reducing world history of nerly 100 years into barely 150 pages is really an ardous task, which the author had accomplished. This is typical book on world history presented from Marxist point of view. Kudos to Telakapalli Ravi Garu for his outstanding contribution to history.
