We Interrupt this Broadcast: Relive the Events that Stopped Our Lives-- from the Hindenburg to the Death of Princess Diana [J0042]
Garner, Joe
1998 - HCDJ (10.5x10.5-inch) +2 audio CDs, Excellent condition. Audio, text, and pictures from 38 selected world history events, covering a wide range of stories from the Hindenburg disaster to the death of Princess Diana. The audio portion is narrated by Bill Kurtis, who is also one of the hosts of "Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!" on NPR.
From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This book was such an emotional journey through my past for me. Granted, going back to 1937 (the Hindenburg explosion) and the Second World War exceeds my lifespan. But, there were so many stories that brought back vivid memories:"; "A book which will be of interest to history buffs, but written for the general public. Don't expect the little reports on each event to have much detail or analysis. If you lived through the event, you probably already know everything Garner wrote about it. The bonus are the two audio CDs that play bits of each original broadcast, with a quick introduction."; "Keep in mind, this is based on what was known and reported to the public at the time and not what was eventually discovered to be truth. A good beginner book on a few events that shape our world today. Deeper analyzation of each event is necessary."
