Publisher's Synopsis
This publication draws together the home and foreign news events of 1990, with a mass of information in boxed form: who's fighting whom, the BBC "poll of polls", sports records, economic and social statistics and quotes of the year. Specially commissioned maps highlight key changes to the world's make-up, such as the march of democracy across Eastern Europe. Chapters are contributed by many BBC news and current affairs presenters, including John Cole on British politics, John Simpson on the new Europe, Kate Adie on war, Peter Jay on the world economy, David Dimbleby on South Africa, Ron Pickering on sport, Polly Toynbee on the homeless and Jeremy Paxman on the media.
