100 Days in Photographs - Pivotal Events That Changed the World

£19.99

Much more than a book of pictures, 100 days in photographs is an intriguing visual journey through modern history- an odyssey that’s personal and universal, immediate and timeless. To create it, Getty Images and National Geographic identified 100 days that represent defining moments over the past 150 years…and crystallised them with photographs - rarely seen or imperative to be seen again - that leap from the page to evoke joy and anger, hope and confusion, triumph and despair.

Enhancing the visuals are journal entries from people who lived these events, and notes made on-site by the photographers themselves. Masterful storyteller and historian Nick Yapp searches beyond the textbook facts of history to uncover unique and little-known aspects of each happening. Is entertaining narrative does much more than teach - it engages and surprises us at every turn, revealing new motivations and memories behind events we though we new.

From Titanic to Chernobyl and from the first to the South Pole to the fall of the Berlin Wall; war, crime, technology, exploration, achievement, fads and fashion all figure into the life and legacy of these 100 days.
