Each of the titles in Turning Points in History examines a major historical watershed. It recounts the chain of events leading up to the event, and the repurcussions, both immediate and long-term. It also evaluates the concept of a turning point, assessing in what way this event really was one. Interpretations run throughout the books, showing how history is informed by a complicated web of divergent views. These books are designed to be thought-provoking, but their approach is direct and embraces the everyday views of ordinary people. They bring history to life, make riveting reading and provide a rich source for topic work and general interest.
