A good overview of the history of the 1900s. Photos were well chosen. I think some of the events covered were slightly slanted in their portrayal, but overall it was both enjoyable and accurate. It is filled with first-hand accounts of people who lived through the events being described. I think the balance of personal stories to historical summaries was a bit skewed, but they did add a lot to the book.
This book has so many great photos. The best part is that there are real people telling real stories about historical events and how they affected them. This book could be used as a resource for any historical event in the last century. I think this is an excellent book to offer to students to read in your classroom library. You can flip anywhere in the book and find something that grabs your attention.
Peter Jennings was the anchor of ABC's World News and he was my favorite news anchor in the 1990s, Peter knows all about the history of America and around the world, he been there and he wants us to look at the world's history in the 20th century, from the Immigration in the 1900s through the new media in the 90s, thanks Peter for all the resources.
