timeline has some very good information in it that gives me some very
important events that occurred during my time period. The timeline gives
me the dates of important protest events that happened in the United States
such as the Kent State Shooting all the way to the peace movement after the
United states found no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. This is a
credible source because it is published by a credible publishing company and
the author is a graduate from the University of Miami and has written a

upset with the government and setup protests to show their displeasure. I
can use this book to talk about all the different protests that were occurring

because it is published by an educational publishing company that would only
put out credible information. Also the author of the book is a professor of
history at Temple University so the information he gives is almost certainly
credible.
