About the Book

A unique collection of accounts brought to life on audiobook with music of the period

They Saw It Happen contains more than sixty eyewitness accounts from history. Many are notable events: the battle of Thermopylae, the black death in 1341, the great fire of London, the execution of Louis XVI, the death of Nelson, the American Civil War, and the bombing of Hiroshima. But there are also snapshots of more ordinary life--no less memorable for that--including working conditions during the Industrial Revolution, views of slave owners and slaves, Paul Gaugin choosing a bride in Tahiti, and the arrest of Dr. Crippen. It is a fascinating and absorbing collection, bringing the past alive as only direct memories like these can.
