Description
The Traveller's History series is designed for travellers who want more historical background on the country they are visiting than can be found in a tour guide. Each volume offers a complete and authoritative history of the country from the earliest times up to the present day. A Gazetteer cross-referenced to the main text pinpoints the historical importance of signs and towns. Illustrated with maps and line drawings, this literate and lively series makes ideal before-you-go reading, and is just as handy tucked into suitcase or backpack. Each volume includes: -- Historical Maps -- Line Drawings -- A-Z Gazetteer -- Select Bibliography -- Index -- Chronology of Major Events -- List of Monarchs and Heads of State.
