- Synopsis
- Experience the greatest moments of the 20th century with an accessible narrative that makes history come alive. Adapted from the #1 national bestseller especially for young readers! The twentieth century was a time of tremendous change, the most eventful hundred years in human history. Join Peter Jennings and Todd Brewster for a fascinating journey back in time to experience, through vivid first-person accounts, the most surprising and the most terrifying events of the past hundred years. These are the voices of ordinary people—children and adults who were a part of history in the making. Their joys and sorrows, their hopes and fears provide a compelling insider’s look at momentous events that have reshaped the world. These three paperback adaptations contain 16-page inserts of exquisitely reproduced photographs with an astonishing power to illuminate history. They will delight and horrify you, educate and entertain you, as you watch the century unfold before your eyes. These spectacular books are riveting reads and essential research volumes. It is the story of our time for all time.
