fascinating first hand accounts, huge variety

This book contains an enormous variety of first hand accounts dating back almost 5000 years! I think the really old ones are best, and these are typically quite short (e.g., 1 to 2 pages). Much of the book centers upon the last century, but there is still plenty of really old content in the first 1/3 of the book. Look at the book dimensions! You're definitely getting your money worth.
