The set contains 10 volumes, namely "1945: The New Pattern of World Order under the Game of Great Powers", "Mysterious to Open: A Journey to Understanding Modern China", "The Germans' War", "The Collapse of the British Empire and the Birth of the United States", "Bombing Tokyo: 1942, the American Revenge of Pearl Harbor", "The Decline of the Chinese Empire", "A Minimalist Millennium History of Asia", "The Fall of Europe: A Brief History of the First World War", "A Concise History" and "Rommel's Wartime Documents". It introduces important historical facts of the two world wars, historical overviews of some countries in Europe, America and Asia, and Western memoirs of China. "1945: The New Pattern of World Order Under the Game of Great Powers": In July 1945, as the "World War II" was coming to an end, Harry Truman, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin gathered in Potsdam, a suburb of Berlin, Germany, to hold a meeting to negotiate permanent world peace. The delegates attending the meeting were determined to learn lessons and avoid the mistakes made by their predecessors in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. However, fierce debates and back-room games on how to end the current war, how to deal with the defeated countries, the European reconstruction plan, and the division of interests among various countries after the war, torn apart the representatives' aspirations and made them realize that the new world order shaped by this negotiation was destined to dominate the direction of the post-war world for a hundred years. This book focuses on a historical detail in the late period of World War II - the Potsdam Conference. It uses precise and concise writing to describe the conflicting interests and demands of the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain. It also makes vivid sketches of political figures such as Stalin, Truman, Churchill and Attlee. It is a rare masterpiece in terms of changes in the world pattern and geopolitical divisions. "Mysterious to Open: A Journey to Understanding Modern China": A detailed account of what Alexander Trudeau has seen, heard, thought and felt in China in recent years, including visits to cities and villages, visits to companies and factories, interviews with scholars, lawyers, media people, artists and urban and rural residents from the north and south. He enthusiastically and rigorously explores the intertwined imprints of the mysterious China that only exists in his reading and memory and the real China after its rapid rise, and explores how the people on this land make China increasingly powerful. Along the way, the secrets revealed by every interviewee the author meets are detailed and true, and it is these gripping truths that surprise and shock people, making them cry for the sincere and unguarded emotions. "The Germans' War": In this book, the famous historian Nicholas Stargardt uses a large number of first-hand materials such as private diaries, court records, and military letters to depict an unprecedented wartime Germany, including infantry and tank commanders on the Eastern Front battlefield, as well as civilians on the home front. From the perspective of ordinary soldiers, commanders and civilians, it reproduces their enthusiasm for war under the bewitchment and control of the Nazis during the war, as well as their frustration, helplessness and resistance after defeat. This book is rich in content and full of humanistic spirit, providing readers with first-hand information about life on the German front and rear during World War II. "The Collapse of the British Empire and the Birth of the United States": In the early 1770s, in order to save the East India Company from bankruptcy, the British authorities passed the Tea Act, which gave the East India Company the patent right to sell overstocked tea to the North American colonies, exempted it from paying high import duties, and explicitly prohibited the colonies from selling "private tea." This was a great harm to the commercial interests of the people of the North American colonies, and therefore directly led to the occurrence of the "Boston Tea Party". Hawks in the British Parliament called for punitive retaliation, a move that sparked a revolt among the colonial people. By the end of the summer of 1774, the local rebels had armed themselves, and the War of Independence was unstoppable... This book tells the origins of the American Revolution from a new perspective. The author carefully researches first-hand information from the United Kingdom and the United States, and reproduces the American Revolution in a fair tone. It also analyzes the sharp conflicts between the British authorities and North American expatriates in the three years before the outbreak of the war (1772-1775), and analyzes the roles played by famous figures in British politics and economics, such as Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock and Thomas Hutchinson, during this period. "The Bombing of Tokyo: 1942, the Americans' Revenge at Pearl Harbor": This book is a thrilling account of America's famous and controversial military operation: the Doolittle Raid. In December 1941, as the U. S. Military was still counting the dead at Pearl Harbor, U. S. President Franklin Roosevelt and his top military advisers gathered together to formulate an ambitious counterattack plan-to bomb Tokyo, the heart of the Japanese Empire. Four months later, on April 18, 1942, 16 US bombers took off from the deck of the USS Hornet. Under the command of the brave captain Jimmy Doolittle, they flew one-way to the Japanese mainland to bomb enemy factories, refineries and shipyards, and then fled to non-Japanese-occupied areas of China. For Roosevelt, the raid was an inspiring piece of victory propaganda, a powerful balm that healed a wounded nation. This book brings together many never-before-published materials from archives on four continents around the world, plus new interviews with survivors. "Bombing Tokyo" tells this period of World War II history from a commanding height: a tragic adventure story, and it also re-examines this bold military operation in American history, which is of great significance. ...
