The eye-witness accounts in this book have been chosen from hundreds of memoirs, letters and travel books, as well as newspapers. The time span reaches from ancient Greece - Thucydides' account of Athens stricken by plague - to February 1986 when James Fenton in the Phillipines, joins the crowd rampaging through President Marcos's palace. There are disasters, executions and battles - often seen from unaccustomed angles - such as, a French knight's account of Agincourt, El Alamein from a German armoured car. But peace has its dramas too, as seen from the accounts of the Pilgrim fathers setting foot in the silent forests of America, and Garrick playing Hamlet.

Product Information

'This excellent book of eye-witness accounts ranges from Thucydides reporting on the plague at Athens in 420 BC to James Fenton wandering through the Marcos's boudoir after the coup d'etat in Manila . . . This book is vigorous and vivid; and it is an assertion of the importance and power of the written word.' Kenneth Baker, The Times. 'A wonderful book to browse in - a treasury of curios, touching memorabilia, shocking facts . . . It deserves a place by the bedside of every literary insomniac.' Jonathan Raban, Observer.
