We started at 1918, bringing you the bestselling books of the last one hundred years. Today we start a new decade, as we countdown to the end of a century and a millennia with 1991!

1991 saw the Iraq invasion of Kuwait, bringing both American and British troops into the conflict. America also had its own troubles as the nation slipped into recession, but the Simpsons hit the screens for the first time, so there was that to cause some cheer!
