On every day of the year, something momentous happened in history, whether it was a rainy 25 February, a sweltering 2 July, or your father's birthday. New York-born W.B. Marsh and Bruce Carrick present a leap year of historical stories by turns amazing, horrifying, touching and tearful. Spanning the history of man's life in earth and every corner of the inhabited world, they paint a picture of infinite richness and minute, enthralling detail. Read about the birth of the national anthem 'The Star-Spangled Banner', Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power in France, the story of the Statue of Liberty, the Atlanta premiere of Gone With The wind and much, much more. It's the ideal book for anyone hooked on history.
