1932." A Hell of a Year, by Gerald Stone; Macmillan, 2005, $35.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM with history is that there is so much of it. Thousands of years of it from several countries fill library and bookshop shelves and most nights it is somewhere on television or radio.

Television veteran Gerald Stone hacks his way into the mountainous existing pile by taking one fairly but not outstandingly interesting or important year and reporting it in detail, current-affairs-style, the hard stuff of politics and economics sandwiched in between human interest, scandal and crime with the typical undercurrent of indignation against foolish, unfeeling authority.
