Description
"The 365 Most Important Events of the Twentieth Century provides a comprehensive view of the last hundred years through the touchstones that have shaped our century."--BOOK JACKET. "Chronicling the front-page stories that made social and political headlines, Paul Baldwin also touches on the moments that were not necessarily noted at the time, but that went on to influence the future profoundly. From Agatha Christie's 1920 invention of Hercule Poirot, to the official acknowledgment of AIDS in 1981, the events detailed in this book range from the inspiring to the terrifying to the wonderfully silly. Capturing our collective mistakes and triumphs, The 365 Most Important Events of the Twentieth Century offers a welcome perspective on where we have come from and where we might be headed."--BOOK JACKET.
