Synopsis:
Imagine having dinner with the notorious Attila the Hun. Applauding a production of Hamlet starring the legendary Garrick. This fascinating collection of over 300 "eyewitness accounts" reveals history as it has never been seen before--personal, vivid, compelling and immediate. Sure to be a classic, this is the quintessential browsing book for history buffs.
Review: The book is a mosaic of startling, unforgettable images...YCarey has created something rarer than history. He has made the past tangible, often terrifying. To read "Eyewitness to History" is to be assaulted with voices and images that will linger long after the accounts in formal histories are forgotten. These scenes will last not necessarily because they are artfully rendered, but because they draw on one of the most resonant sentences in English: I was there, and I saw it with my own eyes. -- Edward Dolnick "Wall Street Journal"
