A Little History of the World: Illustrated Edition

This is a brilliant book. A “crash course” or overview of World History, written for young people. The writing is wonderful and I particularly like how at the end the author writes about history that he lived through and then writes about how his viewpoints have changed with time. Illuminating and illustrates how history is not just facts - but an investigation and discussion as to what those facts are.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in history and I would urge all high-school students to read it before commencing their World History class.

Definitely a book I would read again.
