History comes alive.

This is not a reference book with biographical notes and observations about those who have made history during our generation. These are the actual words and thoughts of those persons extracted through interviews by Richard Heffner one of the most gifted, articulate, and accomplished historians of our age. If you don't read this book and make it a part of your library, you will be missing an important opportunity. I recommend it most highly.
