5.0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING, May 25, 2008

By	Y. DANIEL "ydaniel" (Los Angeles, Ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very fun CD that is highly interactive and creative in its presentation. It's loaded with news articles of the century and many audio and video clips.

Biographies of the most important figures in the 20th Century.

I actually purchased a package that had this CD together with DK's Encyclopedia of History.. which is an abbreviated world history. Excellent timelines on both CD's. Keyword searches.

These two CD's were made in 1997 but are still very relevant today. A companion website unfortunately is no longer supported. I had to download a patch to make it work on XP but perhaps the one mentioned above is already compatible.

These CD's helped me fall in love with history and appreciating major events as well as little ones and the suffering of many across the window of history.
Well worth it. You won't regret buying this CD.
