Departing from the annual Page One book of The New York Times front pages, Great Stories of the Century completely covers the top world-changing events of 1900 through 1999, presenting the full story, which incorporates the newspaper's headline news, other related articles, and period advertisements that reflect the pulse of American life through one hundred years of change. From the end of the Victorian age, through physical accomplishments, life-changing inventions, two horrendous world wars, the turmoil of communism, the computer age, and Clinton -- the century lives and breathes in the pages of The New York Times.
“Outstanding . . . The most accessible distillation of that conflict yet written.” —The Boston Globe “Energetically written and lucid, it makes an ideal introduction to the subject.” —The New York Times The “dean of Cold War historians” (The New York Times) now presents the definitive account of the global confrontation that dominated the last half of the twentieth century. Drawing on newly opened archives and the reminiscences of the major players, John Lewis Gaddis explains not just what happened but why—from the months in 1945 when the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. went from alliance to antagonism to the barely averted holocaust of the Cuban Missile Crisis to the maneuvers of Nixon and Mao, Reagan and Gorbachev. Brilliant, accessible, almost Shakespearean in its drama, The Cold War stands as a triumphant summation of the era that, more than any other, shaped our own. Gaddis is also the author of On Grand Strategy.
Gathering all the headline events of the twentieth century, Page One is a breathtaking chronicle of our times. This new edition contains history-making events from 1998, including the Pope's historical visit to Cuba, the balancing of the federal budget, the Unabomber's guilty plea, and the Monica Lewinsky scandal at the White House. These stories join the major events of previous decades, from the peace treaty signed in Paris .ending the First World War to Nixon and Watergate; the re-unification of Germany to the demise of the Soviet Union; the Gulf War to the tragic bombings of the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City; and the assassination of Israel's Yitzhak Rabin. A definitive introduction to history, Page One delivers a thrilling journey into the events that have shaped this century.

THIS UNIQUE PERSONAL NARRATIVE REVEALS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DRAMATIC DETAILS THE ENTIRE STORY OF THE COMING OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR The thousands of Americans who read the spirited account of Sir Nevile Henderson’s conversation with Ribbentrop in the fateful hours before the German invasion of Poland will realize the importance and guess at the interest of this book. Henderson, a British diplomat of long experience and proven character, was ambassador for his country in Berlin from 1937 to 1939. This is the story of his attempt, and his failure, to avert the calamity of European war... “Sir Nevile Henderson’s book is the first personal memoir we have had of the beginnings of the second world war. This would in itself ensure its importance. But quite aside from this it is a book of exceptional quality. It tells things that very few other people in the world could tell with such detachment. Henderson describes in detail his allegedly ‘pro-German’ course at the beginning, and then his swiftly rising disillusion, until—step by excruciating step—the grisly business was complete. It is not an indiscreet book—no one of the type of Sir Nevile Henderson could ever be more than mildly indiscreet—but there are sidelights on the Nazi leaders of the utmost value. I read these pages with complete fascination. They are indispensable to the student of the contemporary world tragedy.”—JOHN GUNTHER, Authority on World Affairs “Upon his recollections of those last stirring days of peace historians will base much.”—THE NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE “Failure of a Mission reveals the failure of diplomacy when faced by brute force....Here is history itself recorded by one of its helpless human instruments. It is not often that a diplomat records his failure with such engaging frankness. This is the first source book on the second World War. It will remain one of the most important.”—H. V. KALTENBORN, Radio News Commentator
