As the newspaper of record, The Times has reflected the culture of Britain and the history of the World. This book is a compilation of the best articles and photographs in The Times that perfectly reflect the changing times in the world from November 1999 to October 2000.

From news coverage of world-shaping events such as the crisis and war in Kosovo to critical analysis of the domestic political scene, The Best of the Times covers the whole spectrum of current affairs in the year month by month through writers who shaped and informed the news agenda.

The best features of the year are included, with analysis of a country in transformation and the profound changes which affected our everyday lives. The best writing by much-loved columnists such as Simon Jenkins and Matthew Parris appears too, together with the striking images which moved the country throughout the year and stunning cartoons which amused it.

The Best of The Times contains simply the best writing and images from the newspaper of the year.
