\nThe year 2020 was unlike any other year in history. Four new epic crises, which developed simultaneously and unexpectedly, terrorized and isolated us:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The coronavirus pandemic began early in the year and, with a vaccine only a hopeful dream, it quickly spiraled out of control.<\/li>\n
  2. State and household budgets melted down as businesses across America failed, some never to reopen, which left us facing an unthinkable choice: save the economy, which would allow Covid-19 to kill a million or more people and infect tens of millions more, or save people\u2019s lives, which would allow the economy to sink into a depression.<\/li>\n
  3. The presidential campaign became a fierce struggle for the soul of America \u2013 would we remain a democracy or choose totalitarianism? \u2013 and ended in the worst riot in the nation\u2019s Capitol since the War of 1812.<\/li>\n
  4. A nationwide revolt developed against police brutality and systemic racism, which could have been a good crisis had it not been for everything else going on, which often helped allow it to sink into sometimes vicious violence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And then there were the ongoing crises, such as the age-defining climate-change calamity that was forced to take a backseat while we dealt with the four new crises.<\/p>\n

    During the entire year, beginning in late February and ending with Joe Biden\u2019s inauguration, award-winning journalist Skip Johnson spent four to six hours a day, every day except one, combing through several news sources to collect the day\u2019s events, then cull and condense them into a readable format. The result is a daily diary that will be a memento of everlasting value to those who survived it, a clear history of one of the most important years in American history for today\u2019s and tomorrow\u2019s children, and a reference volume for everyone that will only grow in value as the years pass.<\/p>\n
