AFRICA SINCE 1875 by Robin Hallett. *Revised and Enlarged With modern technology shortening the distances between nations, and with nuclear weaponry holding the potential for world destruction, every nation now has an active national interest in keeping peace in the world. Cooperation among nations is neither easy to achieve nor easy to maintain because of barriers to communication and understanding and an accompanying mistrust. But understanding and cooperation are essential to the security of the modern world. The UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN HISTORY OF THE MODERN WORLD offers an interconnected view of the histories of the modern nations in an effort to make intelligible the upheavals and problems of our shrinking world. Comprehensive and scholarly in content, yet lively in style, these books are written for everyone who wants to understand modern history in the making. The late ALLAN NEVINS, historian, author, twice Pulitzer Prize winner, devoted nearly ten years-at first alone, later in cooperation with PROFESSOR HOWARD M. EHRMANN of the University of Michigan-to the selection and guidance of contributors. The result of his labors and theirs is this series of books intended to present political, social, and cultural history combined.
