Description:
From the tragedies of history to the triumphs of scientific development; these are the landmarks of our time that, when juxtiposed, provide a distillation of history's defining experiences. On each of these days, the lives of millions were changed forever. Season three examines the gunfight at the OK Corral and the St Valentine's Day Massacre; the fine line between fact and fiction that was blurred by the publication of The Hitler Diaries and Orson Wells radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds; and popular uprisings with the flight of the last Iranian Shah, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, and the execution of former Romanian president Nicolai Ceausescu.
