Chronicle (newspaper)(big historical moments) of the 20th century - Pics inside! (picture heavy)

So I have been going through my fathers office and I have found a massive book containing all the articles form the Chronicle. Its actually very interesting to see all the biggest moments in history in one book. I will be taking some requests and I will scan the pages onto here. I would like to see your thoughts on this. Here are some pictures I have taken with my iphone. (its old so don't rage)

So here is the book:

The Hiroshima nuke:

More of it:

Adolf Hitler's death:

Vietnam war:

Martin Luther King's death:

SAS storming the embassy:

The SAS storming the Iranian embassy was unbelievable. I was only a baby when it happened, but I've read about it quite a lot and what those guys did was nothing short of superhuman.

What they did is what they are trained to do...be baddass Remember watching that on tv.

Indeed, they have lost their touch though since they got sent home by a bunch of rebels from Libya lol. But still captain price is a badass guy.

It's not from a newspaper it's just a pictorial world history from 1900 to 1988 with short articles. There is one page per month. I’ve got one of these for the French Revolution.

Ah my bad. I thought it was. But its damn interesting though!
