American history is shaped by great and small events, and in recent years a generation of writers has brought these events to life. They have shared these stories with the viewers of the long-running C-SPAN author-interview program Booknotes, and in Brian Lamb's BOOKNOTES: Stories From American History (Penguin, October 1, 2002, $16.00, 576 pages) some of the best have been collected for readers to savor. A New York Times Bestseller in hardcover, this paperback edition offers three new chapters on September 11th and the 2000 election. In this volume, more than eighty contemporary writers and historians examine seminal moments from American history, celebrated and uncelebrated alike.
BOOKNOTES offers readers conversational essays edited from Brian Lamb's interview program, providing an enticing selection of author-subject pairings. For anyone interested in America's rich history—and especially the devoted fans of C-SPAN's Booknotes—this is an engaging compendium of information, opinions, and new perspectives. - Penquin
