Much as I like this book, I suspect it might not meet OP's requirement for:

> a book that covers as much of the 20th century as possible

As /u/vornska has said, there are other books which cover the period in much greater detail.

I have enjoyed all of these. Really depends on what tone you are looking for and how much detail you want.
