Description

The 20th century has been probably the most well documented century we have ever known. At its beginning we were able to understand the significance of preserving those events which would shape and change history. This has made it possible for us to look back on the events of World War I and World War II and hear the voices associated with those tumultuous times. We could never truly feel the madness of an Adolf Hitler if we were to only read, by printed word, his speeches. Hearing his voice, the way he spoke, brings it closer and makes it all the more horrifying in retrospect. And so this volume is dedicated to those events that changed the world, and our place in it.
