Summary: History with Substance
Comment: The obvious comparison with this book (and tape series) is Peter Jennings' "The Century." I've listened to both tape series. Here's the difference in a nutshell: Jennings' "Century" is slickly produced, grandly entertaining sound-bite history in which the Big Lies of right-wing "mainstream" media mythology are preserved without question. Evans' "Century" is nowhere nearly as slick or exquisitely entertaining. But it is a _history;_ it is substantive and honest and, for my money, far more worthwhile.

Summary: Good pictures, Terrible text!
Comment: If you're a good Democrat and despise the Republican Party, then this book will re-enforce most of your prejudies. Through-out his book, Evens makes snide remarks about Nixion and Regean. If your looking for an objective book on the 20th Century, maybe you should look someplace else.
