Communism became a messianic faith and then collapsed ignominiously. Peasants became city dwellers, housewives became workers--and, increasingly leaders. Populations became literate even as new technologies threatened to make print obsolete. And the driving forces of history swung from Europe to its former colonies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncludes 32 pages of photos.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914-1991 | Eric Hobsbawm | Paperback | 9780679730057 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1766628","offer_id":49376944226456,"sku":"1766628","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/814LCsPuH3L.jpg?v=1783023475","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/age-of-extremes-a-history-of-the-world-1914-1991","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
