If time travel were to become possible, most people would choose to visit a significant moment in history so that they could witness the first powered flight, Julius Caesar's assassination in ancient Rome, or the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. These are just a few of the events described in Eyewitness to History. This book features first-hand accounts of major events by those who saw them happen.

The witnesses include prominent historical figures such as Marco Polo, Queen Victoria, Captain Scott, Orville Wright and Che Guevara; they also include many ordinary people who just
