Product Description

This highly accessible series explores key dates in history: what happened on the day and the background and consequences of the event. Each title tells the story in a crisp, fast-paced style and colour and black and white photos, map and timeline support the text. The books are perfect quick-read introductions to the dramatic events, and equally useful as high interest / low reading level books.

Review
"...informative and well-paced...books are compact and chock full of photographs, maps, pictures and primary source materials...they have a super who's who section with more dates than a Middle Eastern oasis, plus the all important glossary. A further plus is the good time-line in each book that puts the date in question in the context of wider historical events." The Teacher Magazine Dates with History provides an excellent in-depth study of key dates in history. The authors have given the long-term and short-term causes of the events that took place on the special date, and then give give an update on the current position for each event.
