5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining history book, August 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Visual History of the Twentieth Century (Hardcover)

While this book isn't for the serious historian, it is quite entertaining for the casual reader interested in recent history. It has a pleasing format and an abundance of black and white photos.

This review is from: The Visual History of the Twentieth Century (Hardcover)

This is a great book, containing lots of information I had forgotten, or never knew.

I purchased it used, in great condition. The book arrived in "like new" condition, on time, and was better than promised.

2.0 out of 5 stars First Black African President, Kwame Nkrumah, was slighted!, November 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Visual History of the Twentieth Century (Hardcover)

It is surprising that a significant event like the independence of Ghana from Britain in 1957 ... the role of Kwame Nkrumah and the political liberation of Africa from Western Europe ... were given no place in the history of the twentieth century! Indeed the sun began to set on the Empire!
