This book is like a chronological stroll through the twentieth century, stopping occasionally to look at the scenery or smell the flowers. Personal "from-the-time" observations add a lifelike color to the scenes. Each section is typically written from the city where the event(s) took place. While each chapter is as compelling as a mystery, each chapter can stand alone as a picture of it's own - you can skip around or interrupt your reading without losing the flavor. Since the writer is a journalist, the writing itself is exceedingly sound (for those of us who unconsciously note such things.) Overall one of the most interesting books I've read in some time...a real must-read for a history buff, but a delightful repast for the rest of us.
