The same day has seen the founding of General Electric, the first flight of the B-52, the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, the opening of the first franchised McDonald's, and the spark that ignited the Tiananmen Square protests.This book gathers the remarkable events that have fallen on April 15 across the centuries - disasters and triumphs, breakthroughs and tragedies, moments of courage and quiet turning points.
