Download They Saw It Happen: Eyewitness Accounts from Ancient Greece to Hiroshima AudioBook Free
Here are more than sixty eyewitness accounts from history. Most are notable events: the Battle of Thermopylae, the Black Death in 1341, the fantastic Fire of London, the execution of Louis XVI, the Death of Nelson and the American Civil War and the bombing of Hiroshima. But there's also snapshots of more ordinary life ? no less memorable for this ? including working conditions through the Industrial Revolution, views of slave owners and slaves, Paul Gaugin choosing a bride on Tahiti and the arrest of Dr Crippen. It really is a fascinating and absorbing collection, bringing days gone by alive as only direct memories like these can do. A unique collection of accounts taken to life on audiobook with music of the period.
