The book's "chapters" are divided up by year, going chronologically from 1900 to 2000. Each year has newspaper articles and photos of events, styles, sports, politics, etc. It does a great job of re-creating the excitement of the times. It also puts certain things into perspective. For example, being born in the 70's, I had a hard time really understanding why racism was so prevelent. I was able to read about Jackie Robinson and other significant turning points--such as the first black actor on Broadway. I still find it difficult to believe how we could be so racist just a short time ago.
It's really riveting to read and see the events each year and how things change. Some inventions don't seem important at the time but turn out to be huge.
This book is a real page turner, but due to how it is divided up, can easily be something you slowly savor over the long-haul.
I strongly encourage you to pick up a copy and experience history, one news story at a time.
