Description
Squeezing together 3,500 years of bloody battles, glorious empires, revolting revolutions, monstrous monarchs, and so much more, The History Book gives everything a good shake and a couple of twists, so the important bits are all there, but the fun stuff rises to the top. Explore the copper, bronze, and iron ages through some heavy metal merchandise, pick your barbarian warrior in a beat 'em up videogame, and read Napoleon's profile on a social networking site. Learning history has never been so innovative or exciting. Find out where you fit in to the story of the world!
