We Interrupt This Broadcast: Relive the Events That Stopped Our Lives...from the Hindenburg to the Death of Princess Diana (book with 2 audio CDs) Hardcover – January 1, 1998

Goes back in history and is a great book to see what was happening in the wolrd.

We ordered this as a gift for an avid reader close friend. He loved it!!!

This book allows people to relive those news events that made history and truly were worthy of interrupting regular-scheduled programming. It seems that whenever we see the words "special report" or something similar on a television or hear it on the radio our heart skips a beat. Particularly since 9-11 this is true. But not everytime disaster or worse is being reported. Recently in Minnesota they interrupted programming with a "special report" only to inform us our professional hockey team had been sold. Big deal!But those items included in this book are the real deal. Attacks, political happenings, murders, etc. all make their way into this book. For the real enthusiast, there are two CDs included so the events may be relived over again.This book is a good summary of what happened, written by Bill Kurtis, who reported many of them first hand. While not the best book ever written, it will hit home to many, with an eerie sense of the fears and concerns first broadcast.

It was positive about me so sure why not, it's definitely a good book...lol

I have had a copy of this for years. Glad I was able to find another copy as a gift for my father in law. He was thrilled when he opened it. My brother in law also liked it (so much that he has dibs on it whenever my father in law is ready to loan it out).

We've given this book as a gift to both of our parents. Once they finally opened it and listened to the CD they remarked how much it brought back memories of growing up. It also is interesting for those of us who have grown up after most of these events happened because it gives us a sense of severity and reality which is often not relayed through history. A great gift idea but also nice to have in your own library both for reference and for history's sake.

Prompt delivery of the book. Was purchased for Uncles 90th Birthday, put a smile on his face.

I had this year's ago but it was borrowed and never returned. Very glad to have it again.

I liked everything!
