By A Customer

This review is from: 100 Years in Photographs (Paperback)

George Sullivan brings together some striking images in this well thought out book. There is a wealth of information here about the last century of American history, supported by photographs of everything from sporting events to politicians. I found this book informative and easy to read. It did not concentrate on any one aspect of American history, but instead presented a balanced overview of many topics. As an amateur photographer I found the format very pleasing. The photographs tell the story well, and help to make it a book that is ideal both for adults and schoolchildren alike. It is an excellent introduction to American history.
