Where were you on September 11th or when you first heard of Kennedy's assassination? Where were you when you heard of Mandela's release, the conquest of Everest or Martin Luther King's Dream? What did you do for the Millennium? What were you doing during Concorde's last flights or when Dylan went electric? Where were you when the Berlin Wall fell or when the Pope died? How did you hear about John Lennon's death and where were you when the last ever episode of Friends was televised? These are just some the events that have shaped our world, key moments in history that have associations for all of us. "Where Were You When..." is an exhilarating book of more than one hundred such events that are within living memory. Arranged chronologically, the book kicks off in 1939 with the declaration of World War II. It covers a broad range of subjects from science politics, war, sport and popular culture. Ian Harrison's lively and informative text is accompanied by iconic, instantly recognizable images, as well as lesser-known photographs that the reader may not have seen before.
