Description

A quirky and original reference book containing 24 hours of history that have changed the worldAt what time was Guy Fawkes discovered underneath the Palace of Westminster? When was Captain Bligh ordered off the Bounty? At what time was Einstein's Theory of Relativity proved? What time was on the clock when Titanic sunk? All these questions and 400 more are answered here, giving a unique twist on how history is presented. Events are arranged not in order of place, theme, or date, but by the time of day they took place. There are 24 chapters, one for each hour of the day, with each chapter including major battles, assassinations, crimes, deaths, and disasters, all presented by the hour and minute they took place.
