<br/><br/> "Chronicle of the 20th Century is more than a book; it is an experience, taking you back to relive history as it happens. It is as big and rich, as diverse and exciting as the new century itself. Month by month, year by year the news reports of all the great dramas and events are presented, from world wars to fashions and films and great sporting events. The stories are freshly written by the top journalists of today with all the immediacy of the daily newspaper and with the great pictures from news archives around the world. You are there with a ringside seat when man first flies an aeroplane, invents the 'talking pictures' and sets foot on the moon. You become witness to such momentous events as the Russian Revolution, the rise of Hitler, the D-Day landings, the bombing of Hiroshima, the assasination of President Kennedy, the retreat from Vietnam. As Australasians you read the immediate reports of the landing at Gallipoli, the Great Depression, Tobruk and the Kokoda trail, the conquest of Everest, the sacking of Gough Whitlam, the America's Cup and the infamous under-arm ball. You will follow the lives of legendary figures such as Ghandi and Winston Churchill, recapture the whiff of scandals such as King Edward's abdication and the Profumo affair, relive great sports victories, be chilled by disasters such as Cyclone Tracy, marvel at scientific discoveries, and thrill to artistic stunning operatic careers of Dame Joan Sutherland and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. Our changing social and cultural life-our cars, our clothes, our food, our homes, our films and theatre, our music-are reminders of our part in the 20th century story. This edition has been specially prepared for Australasia and reflects our perspective on a century that began when Queen Victoria was monarch and Australia and New Zealand were still Colonies. Whether you turn to Chronicle for reference, enlightenment, nostalgia or entertainment it is destined to be a treasured and much read possession in your home. For the youngest and the oldest, it is the book of our times."  Tagset incomplete because this book covers has so much on the 20th Century.
