reviewed Great American History Fact-Finder - Ted Yanak - Paperback on November 30, 2013 Great American History Fact-Finder - Ted Yanak - Paperback
Picked this up on a whim in a second hand book shop. Never heard of Morrow before, but as I'm on a bit of an essay kick I picked it up.
Quite impressive. He writes well, with light, clear prose. Sometimes the structure is a little odd - just when you get into the flow, an essay will end with a rather abrupt conclusion. Possibly a result of the medium - most of the essays in this collection were written as short pieces for Time.
The collection covers quite a stretch of time - 1980s through to quite recently - and it's interesting to see how reflective and incisive Morrow could be even in the immediate grip of literally awful events, such as the war in the Balkans (where he was a reporter on the ground), or in the aftermath of the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York.
Worthwhile for the style, and for the example of how to bring something to a topic within such a short medium, as well as for the thoughts and narratives themselves.
