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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncludes 32 pages of photos.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1917, Eric Hobsbawm was educated in Austria, Germany, and England.
