Product Details

This book coincides with the ABC television series hosted by the late news anchor Peter Jennings, one of the book's authors, but stands on its own as a reference published for young people. The volume takes much of its content from narratives of the people who actually lived through the events and has pages full of actual photographs. It's a very personal chronicle of the 20th century.

Parents and teachers may wish to review the material before presenting it to young children as this book has actual photographs that might be disturbing to some.

The Century for Young People is derived from an adult-oriented volume by the same authors, The Century.
