Read a daily newspaper, The BBC is IMHO the best impartial source (though there are plenty who will disagree), avoid the partisan stuff like the Guardian and Fox News. The Economist is still the best weekly roundup of everything that's going on anywhere, but they have a fairly obvious slant.

Read a decent book on 20th centuary history, properly, it should be over 1000 pages.
