This Incredible Century

Description for THIS INCREDIBLE CENTURY: A WARM AND WITTY BIOGRAPHY OF THE 20TH CENTURY FROM AMERICA'S FOREMOST STORYTELLER by Norman Vincent Peale:

I personally know how things were during the twentieth century, for I lived through it all. Even the "primitive" life was not all that bad. Indeed it was wonderful: it was life that "was" life. Perhaps I'm overly sentimental bout days that are gone and will not come back, for even as I write about hose halcyon days of youth, tears form in my eyes.

In the chapters of this book I want to tell about the America I knew personally, the America that was to become the America that it is. It is now on its way to becoming the America that is to be. My nine decades of life as a native-born American are, I feel, an unforgettable and exciting story. I am eager to tell about about the country where life that is life is still within the reach of every American.
