About This Book
The eye-witness accounts in this book have been chosen from hundreds of
memoirs, letters and travel books, as well as newspapers. The time span
reaches from ancient Greece - Thucydides' account of Athens stricken by
plague - to February 1986 when James Fenton in the Phillipines, joins
the crowd rampaging through President Marcos's palace. There are
disasters, executions and battles - often seen from unaccustomed angles
- such as, a French knight's account of Agincourt, El Alamein from a
German armoured car. But peace has its dramas too, as seen from the
accounts of the Pilgrim fathers setting foot in the silent forests of
America, and Garrick playing Hamlet.
