These books are designed to give a colourful and Info mative introduction to seven periods in world history of the twentieth century.
The topics in each book are specially chosen to give an impression of the period, rather than an exhaustive account of every event.
With over 150 illustrations, each book combines a wide variety of photographs, maps and diagrams, as well as a text which is both lucid and exciting.
In addition, there is a 16-page reference section containing projects, a time chart, a biographical gallery and an index.
For readers who wish to do further research there is a large reading list.
