The reference I use the most!,

This review is from: What Happened When: A Chronology of Life & Events in America (Signet) (Paperback)
There are many fine books out there that report our history accurately and completely. There is only ONE that does it this way! Carruth's little tome is the size of a regular paperback book and about the same thickness as your average fiction blockbuster...think Tom Clancy. Yet, within it he has managed to squeeze in just about everything of importance from around 986 AD through the end of the 1980's. I go to this book at least once per day. I have many reference books available to assist me in my writing, but nothing gives me such perfection as this one. Each event is noted briefly and accurately. Fact packed, all of the fluff has been removed. Still, he manages to include for each year a one- or two-page review of the "flow" of that year's events, thereby revealing the linkages we all know exist but often can't quite pin down. Exellent in every sense of the word.
