Some events more than others have changed the pace and determined
the direction that history has taken along its rugged path.
Inconsistencies that are not always clearly evident occur much more
frequently when the events of humanity speed up. Such was the case
in the mid-twentieth century. In fact, after World War II, several
historical events overlapped; new political and military balances,
decolonization, revolutionary technological advances, racial
tensions, changes in the geographical economy, cultural and
religious conflicts and unrelenting mass migrations. This book is
dedicated to precisely those key events in our time; it uses a rich
array of iconography to retrace what were to be the points of no
return, the developments that would suddenly change the lives of
many human beings. This book revisits the greatest events in recent
history - from the Korean War that marked the beginning of the Cold
War to the various revolutions of 1968, from conquering the moon to
the birth of the internet, from the introduction of the Euro to the
meeting for denuclearization between President Trump and the North
Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. Reliving the events makes it easier to
understand the reasons and the origins of many of the milestones of
contemporary history.
