The Guinness chronicle of the 20th century in quotations

Arranged in broad thematic and chronological sections, this book contains a selection of 20th-century quotations, chosen for their resonance and historical significance.

Entries for notable events, movements and personalities are all presented through a range of contemporary quotations which chart the actions, opinions and feelings not only of powerful decision-makers, but also of ordinary people whose lives were affected and marked by them.
