This is a documentary (not a narrative) history: the important feature is that "the more than one thousand authors in these pages were living men and women who wrote or spoke about matters of deep and immediate concern to them at the time. They were not looking back: they were writing about what was happening at the moment. We see history unfold as they saw it." A handsome set. [Shipping at cost]. Near Fine/No Jacket as Issued.
