Our 20th Century: The Events That Shaped Our Lives

The twentieth century was a time of social upheaval and human achievement, world war and unparalleled scientific discoveries. In this special audio presentation, the correspondents of CBS News, both past and present, reflect on this wondrous period of history. Veteran newsmen Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather provide insight into some of the most monumental events of the past one hundred years. Moments are once again relived through actual radio and television broadcasts and the recollections of the men and women who reported them. Our 20th Century celebrates this watershed of history through the medium and the people that brought world-shaking events into our homes.
