Class, War, Race, and Empire: 1900-1939 is a groundbreaking work that challenges traditional narratives of the 20th century. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the authors argue that class, war, race, and empire were the central forces shaping the period. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the history of the 20th century.

Michael Mann is one of the world's leading sociologists. He is the author of several prize-winning books, including The Sources of Social Power and The Dark Side of Democracy. In Class, War, Race, and Empire, Mann argues that the 20th century was a period of intense social and political upheaval. He shows how the rise of capitalism, the growth of nation-states, and the spread of imperialism created a world that was both more interconnected and more conflict-ridden than ever before.

Mann's book is divided into four parts. The first part examines the rise of class conflict in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Mann shows how the growth of industrial capitalism led to the emergence of a new working class that was increasingly organized and militant. The second part of the book examines the impact of war on the 20th century. Mann argues that war was a central force in shaping the politics and economies of the period. He shows how the two world wars led to the rise of mass mobilization, the growth of the welfare state, and the decline of colonialism.

The third part of the book examines the role of race in the 20th century. Mann argues that race was a key factor in shaping the politics and economies of the period. He shows how racism was used to justify colonialism, slavery, and other forms of oppression. The fourth part of the book examines the impact of empire on the 20th century. Mann argues that empire was a central force in shaping the politics and economies of the period. He shows how the rise of empires led to the spread of capitalism, the growth of nation-states, and the decline of colonialism.

Class, War, Race, and Empire is a challenging and provocative work that offers a new perspective on the history of the 20th century. Mann's book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the forces that shaped the modern world.
