Solution

The correct option is B Eric Hobsbawm
Historian Eric Hobsbawm wrote a book titled 'Age of Extremes', wherein he commented on the tremendous changes in the political and economic fabric of the world during the course of the twentieth century. His focus was specifically from 1914-1991, in which time the world witnessed two world wars, the Russian Revolution, the Great Depression, the end of liberalism and the rise of dictatorships, the alliance against fascism, decolonisation, the post-war boom and later economic crises, among other events of great magnitude.
