Review # 1 was written on 2017-04-28 00:00:00 John Garrett I've always liked weekly news magazines for their coverage of current events, and now I find one makes a useful history book. All of the articles are excellent, with one exception: a bizarre fantasy story about the Yalta Conference by Whittaker Chambers. I find little reason for "Time" magazine to have published it in 1945, and no reason for it to be included "85 Years of Great Writing".

Review # 2 was written on 2017-02-17 00:00:00 Clay Poupart Wonderful assortment of historical stories written by professionals who were on the ground. Anything from the rise of OPEC to the first hand account of a journalist taken prisoner by the Viet Cong. Great variety and depth.
