"I found this book really interesting and the fact that it has the full photos but also has a blurb about each of them makes it more interesting.
Some of the images will be well known to all generations who pick up the book, and some I found myself learning about for the first time. One particular photo which stood out for me was one in Jackson, Mississippi where a crowd of white citizens are abusing and taunting a black girl who is sitting at the counter of a cafe. The pain in her face is amazing and it is interesting to think how far we have come from 1963 when that photo was taken.
There is of course the Tiananmen Square and the fall of Iraq, but there are also photos of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the first ever moving picture.
Overall the book is a great keepsake if nothing else, but I'd recommend it as a coffee table book because a lot of the photos will definitely get people talking."
"This book made the rounds of my large family. It's an amazing conversation starter, work of history, and guest-magnet. I teared up at a lot of the photos...but isn't that the point?"
