"Companion volume to the 26-part PBS documentary (entitled People's century)"--Jacket. Includes index. Originally published in two volumes: Great Britain : BBC Books, 1995, 1996.
This companion volume to the spectacular twenty-six-part PBS documentary (first broadcast in September 1995) is a masterly and monumental journal of our age. It tells a riveting tale of ten tumultuous decades - not from the towering vantage point of princes and presidents but from the modest perspective of ordinary people who found themselves swept up in dramatic events of historic proportions.
