The Century by: Jennings, Peter Brewster, Todd

Hardcover. Doubleday, 1st, 1998, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 624 pages, hardcover. Dust jacket, covers, and interior pages are all clean and bright, as this book is still sealed in its original plastic covering, which has a few rips. Researchers, reporters, and producers for ABC News searched the world's archives for the rarest and most stunning photographs and images, consulted eminent twentieth-century historians, and discovered and interviewed hundreds of eyewitnesses and participants in the significant moments of the most eventful one hundred years in human history. The result was this spectacular book, the independent companion volume to the landmark ABC News and The History Channel television series 'The Century'. Co-written by ABC News Anchor Peter Jennings and Senior Editorial Producer Todd Brewster, 'The Century' features a narrative of extraordinary quality that tracks major themes--the impact of technology, the soaring of the imagination, the ghastly violence, the joy of entertainment--through chronological chapters recounting the signal moments of each era in the century. This is an oversize book, domestic shipping only. Clean copy. Record # 33820
