A People's History of the World: From the Stone Age to the New Millennium (101 page)

Some of the best recent oral history is to be found in television documentary footage, which can often be obtained on video. Highly recommended are the BBC’s
People’s Century
,
The Nazis: a Warning from History
, and the story of the black movement in the US,
Eyes on the Prize
; less consistently good is
The Cold War
. The film
The Wobblies
is a documentary look at working class militancy in the US in the first quarter of the 20th century and
Battle for Chile
parts one and two a riveting look at what happened to the Allende government.
