From the moment I first opened the pages of a history book as a child, I was captivated. The stories of empires rising and falling, of heroes and villains shaping the course of human events, gripped my imagination like the most thrilling adventure novels. As I grew older, my passion for history only intensified, eventually leading me to a career as a historian and author. But I never forgot the young reader I once was—the one who yearned for stories that were not just informative but also utterly enthralling.That's why I've decided to write this series of history books, designed with my younger self in mind. My aim is to captivate the intellect of smart kids who crave knowledge, as well as adults who never lost their sense of wonder. Rather than having to wade through dense, uninteresting manuscripts that can make history feel like a chore, I've endeavoured to make my series concise, engaging, and, above all, exciting.In each volume, (Free as often as Amazon will allow) I've encapsulated expansive periods of history into digestible narratives. and condensed into a single edition. Or consider the instalment on the Battles of Napoleon, where the drama of military genius and the fate of nations unfold in a narrative as gripping as any thriller.So, whether you're a precocious young reader eager to understand the complexities of our past, or an adult looking to rekindle that sense of awe and discovery, this series is for you. Together, we'll journey through time, meeting extraordinary individuals and witnessing events that have shaped our world. Prepare to be enlightened, entertained, and, most importantly, inspired by the incredible tapestry of human history. And as we turn the pages of history together, let the adventure begin!Finally, I would like to emphasise that my books are written in a straightforward and uncomplicated manner, catering especially to intellectually advanced adolescents aged 8 to late teens. These books are designed for bright individuals who seek quick and efficient knowledge acquisition without the necessity of delving into trivial details such as the identity of Napoleon's grandmother. My books should be interesting for any reader who is studying the topic for the first time. Thus far, I have received only one unfavourable critique, prompting me to revise the manuscript accordingly. However, I must assert that if you are already an established historian, possess extensive knowledge of the subject matter, or seek works pertaining to Shakespeare, these publications may not be suitable for your interests.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
