An illustrated chronicle describes hundreds of key events, works, discoveries, and people that have shaped the twentieth century and places them in their international and chronological context. Reprint.
Okay this book was published in 1996, but still. The authors constantly injected their own opinions and interpretations of events and people. And I had to question many of the events that they determined were "key." I've had this book for years and recently needed it for a project. After reading it for the last two days, it now has a new home in the recycling bin.
