Customer Reviews

'...one of those books you will never tire of reading....'
This is the sort of book you can put down on your coffee table and dip in and out of whenever the desire or the occasion arises.

It is very easy to read and i love the 'newspaper style' in which it has been put together. This is one of those books you will never tire of reading, possible because it is such a big book and would take (me at least) a life time to read properly.

It is, essentially, a reference book and would appeal to people interested in history and current affairs as well as people like me who are simply interested in learning more about the century we have just waved goodbye to.

It contains all of the main tragedies and triumphs of an amazingly diverse century and lots of wonderful photographs which make it all the more pleasant to read.

A very fascinating and attractively written book that has to be a 'must' for anybody with an interest in the world around them and the changes made within it.
