RaveThe Minneapolis Star TribuneThe great success of Witness to the Revolution is that it never veers toward the boredom one associates with history textbooks. The book builds chronologically in one-month or two-month blocks. Bingham’s voice adds context and clarity in the form of brief biographies and chapter introductions, which help give this massive work a good narrative flow ... Bingham manages to accomplish a difficult task here. She has created a work that indeed captures its own time and makes it still seem of the moment. I imagine for those who lived through these events, the book will evoke personal thoughts and history. And for those of us who were not alive, it gives a detailed and informative glimpse into what was happening.
