If you’re looking for a thorough historical roundup of some of its greatest conflicts, look no further than the works of Sir Martin Gilbert.īorn in London in 1936 to Jewish parents whose own parents were refugees from Tsarist Russia, Gilbert was evacuated to Canada for his safety at the beginning of the Second World War, when he was a toddler. It's a confounding century characterized by conflict and rapid change. By the end, people were using computers and the Internet, and the most destructive conflict in human history seemed like it was in the distant past.
