WITNESS TO HISTORY: FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS BY THOSE WHO SAW IT HAPPEN

Book ID/图书代码： 02627808B23210

English Summary/英文概要： If time travel were to become a reality most people would choose to visit a significant moment in history; witness the first flight, JKF’s assassination in Dallas, Texas or the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb. These are just a few of the incredible events described in Witness to History. This book features first hand accounts of major events by those who saw it happen, including such prominent historical figures as Buzz Aldrin, Captain Scott, Orville Wright and Che Guevara as well as those who, like suffragette Lady Constance Lytton, remained in the shadows, but saw verything!
Few of us will ever find ourselves at the right place at the right time when a major event occurs, and those of us who do sometimes live to regret it. Witness to History puts the reader in the very privileged position of being there in the thick of the action, without actually having to be there. Time travel, for the time being anyway, is not a real possibility, Witness to History is as close as most people are ever likely to come.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如果可以回到過去，您會想見證哪一段重要的歷史事件？
回到過去或許是個無法實現的美夢
《歷史的證人》卻能透過文字，帶您回到事件發生的那一剎那

如果時間旅行不再只是夢想，絕大多數人肯定會想回去見證歷史上一個有意義的時刻：目睹人類第一次飛行、約翰·甘迺迪遇刺事件或是圖坦卡門墓葬的發掘。
《歷史的證人》中描述了一些不可思議的歷史大事件。本書匯集了許多事件發生時目擊者的第一手敍述資料，包括一些傑出的歷史人物，如，巴茲·奧爾德林（美國航空航天局宇航員），司科特船長（南極探險第一人），奧維爾·萊特（人類首次飛行完成者），切·格瓦拉（古巴革命傑出領導人之一），還有女權主義者康斯坦·李頓夫人。
當一個重大事件發生時，很少有人能在合適的時間找到適合自己的位置，即使有人做到了，他們最後也會生活在悔恨中。《歷史的見證者》賦予讀者機會，讓他們得以身臨其境於波瀾壯闊的歷史事件中，而又不必真正的在現場。(ZYT & SK)
