C-Span's Booknotes host Brian Lamb has compiled a varied of 80 essays about seminal moments in American history. The author-subject pairings are superb, giving the pieces a personal tone seldom encountered in historical writing. For instance, Witold Rybczynski writes about the building of Central Park; Tom Brokaw talks about the World War II generation; Gina Kolata presents the horrific 1918 flu pandemic; Stephen B. Oates discusses the gathering storm before the Civil War. Inviting, diverse, and informative.
