This sure made for an informative yet quick read. The details for each event were short but well done with enough information. Each event is shown with a photograph from that time period which adds to the feeling of what people back in that time period might have felt. I really wouldn't call it "80 Days That Changed the World" since it only goes as far back as the 1920s but it's more of a short non-fiction book to update you on last century's great events.
