THE BEST OF NPR: Eyewitness to History

EYEWITNESS TO HISTORY provides any National Public Radio fan just what one might expect--picture-perfect aural snapshots of world history that transport the listener to another time and place. True to form, NPR offers stories and anecdotes highlighting events from the moment rural Americans first received electricity to the assassination of President Kennedy to the fall of Saigon and beyond. Complete with dramatic background sound effects that capture what an eyewitness might have heard on location at these historic moments, each vignette tells a riveting story with power, intelligence and emotion. The format is perfect for listening while running errands, and the familiar voices of Terry Gross, Bob Edwards and other favorites are a natural addition to any tape from NPR.
