Description: There has never been a time in history that can compare with the last 100 years. It has been a kaleidoscope of unforgettable people immersed in world-altering events, always at a pace previously unimaginable. The first radio broadcast gives way to the omnipresent medium of television. Four lads from Liverpool who look and sound like no one before them are part of a dynamic youth counterculture that changes the world. Babe Ruth single-handedly makes baseball, and big-time spectator sports, a part of the American way. A lone man in Beijing shows the planet that, in the end, courage is everything. And through it all, these 100 years have witnessed scientific advances as never before, political turbulence of unprecedented fervor and, of course, the seemingly inevitable conflict between nations. Presenting all of this in a coherent, intelligent manner is a tremendous challenge, but the editors of Life have truly risen to the occasion. With their trademark and pithy essays, they have provided a volume that will entertain and inform for years to come.
