2.		Age of Empire: 1875-1914 from Vintage Price: $6.56 Customer Review: In THE AGE OF EMPIRE, Eric Hobsbawm completes his trilogy of 19th century European history, and as with his many other works, with a Marxist view. In his books that deal with 20th century Western history, Hobsbawm's socialist leanings are obtrusive and contradictory. His overarching theme is that... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.	[no image]	The Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914-1991 from Pantheon Books Price: $12.95 Customer Review: I won't spend too much time on this review because I don't think it's really worth my time. There's a major contradiction between the title and the introduction that had a significant impact on how I feel about the book. In the title, it reads "A History of the World, 1914-1991." Then in his... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		On Empire from New Press Price: $8.44 Customer Review: To leftists the word "empire" has the negative connotation that once belonged to Rome: imperialistic, expansionist, hegemonic, and slavery centered. Further, the term has come to belong to be used for the exclusive use of the United States. In ON EMPIRE, British Marxist historian Hobsbawm trots out... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.	[no image]	The Age of Revolution (Mentor) from Signet Price: $4.98 Customer Review: Neither textbook nor narrative, Hobsbawm's classic is an interpretive essay whose many insights, expressed in memorable style, continue to stimulate and inspire. He abandoned Stalinism long ago, and his nuanced Marxism sympathizes with workers, peasants and rebels, which still seems to provoke some... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The Age of Capital: 1848-1875 from Vintage Price: $9.05 Customer Review: In THE AGE OF CAPITAL, British Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm focuses his attention on the slow then sudden expansion of capitalism in Europe and in the United States. What one notices in this and in his other books on Western history is that his animus toward capitalism and his approbation of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Interesting Times: A Twentieth-Century Life from Abacus Price: $11.51 Customer Review: It is truly a pity a Nobel Prize for History has never been made, because surely Eric Hobsbawm would deserve it, and considering his age it may well soon be too late. Hobsbawm (originally Hobsbaum) is one of the world's greatest living historians, author of a series of popular as well as highly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Bandits, Revised Edition from New Press, The Price: $6.25 Customer Review: While this book does cover several aspects of banditry, it does not concentrate on one specific geographical area and therefore makes global conclusions. These conclusions are not always accurate, I feel.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		America: The New Imperialism: From White Settlement to World Hegemony, New Edition from Verso Price: $18.95 Customer Review: It took me just over a week to finish reading Mr Kiernan's work. I had no idea who he was but was attracted by the cover and the title and, if I'm honest, Eric Hobsbawm's preface. This is the best-written and most educative history of our country and its wars that I've ever read. I finished school... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
