About This Book
The eye-witness accounts in this book have been chosen from hundreds of
memoirs, letters and travel books, as well as newspapers. The time span
reaches from ancient Greece - Thucydides' account of Athens stricken by
plague - to February 1986 when James Fenton in the Phillipines, joins
the crowd rampaging through President Marcos's palace. There are
disasters, executions and battles - often seen from unaccustomed angles
- such as, a French knight's account of Agincourt, El Alamein from a
German armoured car. But peace has its dramas too, as seen from the
accounts of the Pilgrim fathers setting foot in the silent forests of
America, and Garrick playing Hamlet.
Availability: Usually ships in 5~10 business days.
