We Interrupt This Broadcast: The Events That Stopped Our Lives...from the Hindenburg to the Death of John F. Kennedy Jr., by Joe Garner

Suggested by: my reading list
My Ratings: 9 Merit, 7 Interest, 7 Fun

This isn't really the kind of book to which "fun" can be applied, but it was well done. There are two CDs included so as you read the text, you can listen to Bill Kurtis narrate the soundtrack of news reports.

I skipped around a lot here, only reading/listening to the stories I remember, and those I was really interested in like D-Day and the death of Marilyn Monroe.

Good book to get the sense of the times in which these events happened.
