Cassell's Chronology of World History: Dates, Events and Ideas That Made History

World history distilled in annual milestone snapshots.

If you have ever been curious about the flow of history, "Cassell's Chronology of World History" can be an illuminating read. It's essentially a time machine in book form, distilling years of human progress, conflict, and innovation into bite-sized, yearly summaries. It's perfect for those evenings when you want to travel back in time from the comfort of your couch and reflect on how yesterday's events have shaped today's world.
