Categories: History

Chronicle of the 20th Century (1987), edited by former New York Times managing editor Clifton Daniel, presents the century's history in the form of a newspaper. Written as news reports in the present tense, the entries run month by month from 1900, with headlines, photographs and short articles on politics, wars, science, sports and popular culture. The format lets readers follow events as people experienced them at the time, without knowing what came next.
