Brief Accounts of World Events Since 1940

The Facts on File World News Digest is now available online. In addition to searching for news briefs by keywords and dates, you can also browse the international tops stories by decade or year. Special features, such as newsmaker profiles, an Iraq war coverage guide, and a 2008 Presidential election guide, offer other means of retrieving news. World press links take you to the web versions of newspapers in countries from Andorra to Jamaica to Zimbabwe. And if you’d like to revisit that assignment to find out what was happening in the world on your birth date or birth year, here’s another source.
