2. English language secondary sources (big reference textbooks)

Paul Kennedy wrote that most of the histories of the 20th-century, “are too hasty, unbalanced, and breathlessly one-sided (or bland and textbookish, which is even worse). [...] A book with a strong argument will always be more challenging, and better, than a mere distillation of common knowledge” [2006no02:TLS:23]. (Compare Kennedy's words with the essay "Ways of Seeing History" on that same topic [ID]). Kennedy’s notion of the very best books on the century just past (some of them written more nearly in the middle of the century than at its end, and some of them covering a period much longer than one century) =
