The Faber Book of Reportage | John Carey

1 post | 1 read | 1 reading | 2 to read

What was it like to be caught in the firestorm that destroyed Pompeii? To have dinner with Attila the Hun? To watch the charge of the Light Brigade? To see the Titanic slide beneath the waves? John Carey's best-selling Faber Book of Reportage draws its eyewitness account from memoirs, travel books and newspapers. This is history with the varnish removed. 'A quite stunning collection. There are descriptions in this book so fresh that they sear themselves into the imagination.' Jeremy Paxman

The Faber Book of Reportage | John Carey

So I‘m going into the Guinness book 📕of records for catching covid in 2 consecutive months,first on a plane ,then from a ship! So catching up on the bbc between the covers tv bookshow : jo brand recommended this,an eyewitness account of some of the fascinating moments in history. Such as Caesar invading Britain, dinner with Attila the Hun, human sacrifice with aztecs, the assassination of Lincoln, a mastectomy before anaesthesia etc fascinating !
