I recently checked out from the library the 1995 version of this book, entitled "Our Times: The Illustrated History of the 20th Century." It is well-written, superbly organized, and intellectually seductive. Anyone interested in knowing more about history of the 20th century will find between these covers some of the most telling, vivid, interesting, and glorious details about the people and events and "causes and effects" in 20th century history that heretofore has existed in our heads only at the "label level." (For example, in 1918, when the German ace fighter pilot "Red Baron"--Baron Manfred von Richthofen--was shot down, credited with 80 Allied "kills," the Allies buried him with full military honors.) |
