The Century (Audiobook) - Disc 10 (1960-1963) Poisoned Dreams - by Peter Jennings

What was it like to see the Wright Brothers soar into the air? To hear the first crackling voice coming over the radio? To cower in the ghastly trenches of Europe during World War I? To lose everything in the stock market crash of 1929, or experience the birth of rock and roll? To watch the Berlin Wall divide East and West, then, twenty-eight years later, see it fall? For the past six years, researchers, reporters, and producers for ABC News have searched the world's archives for revealing historical images and sounds, consulted leading historians, and interviewed hundreds of eyewitnesses to the significant moments of this most eventful one hundred years in human history. The result is this spectacular 15-part audio series, the companion to the landmark ABC News television series The Century. Produced by ABC News for the ABC Television Network and for a separate series for The History Channel, The Century is a sweeping retrospective of the people and events that have shaped this century.
