It lasted over 1,500 days and was without parallel. World War One threw the globe into a war of unprecedented horror, fought with terrifying new weapons, and of death on an industrial magnitude, a war that involved so many nations and reached into the very fabric of society. The war of 1914 – 1918 changed the world and shaped the twentieth century.

The Clever Teens' Guide to The Russian Revolution

The communist system unleashed by the Russian Revolution of 1917 was the greatest political experiment ever conducted.

The Clever Teens’ Guide to the Russian Revolution covers all the major facts and events giving you a clear and straightforward overview: from the circumstances behind the rise of Lenin and the Bolsheviks, to the consequences of their struggle for a new socialist utopia.

The Clever Teens' Guide to The Russian Revolution

Following its defeat in World War One, Germany was a country in ruins. Inflation, poverty, exhaustion, humiliation and disillusionment wrecked the nation. Out of the ashes arose a man that promised to revitalise the country and give it back its dignity. He would deal, for once and for all, with the nation’s internal enemies – the communists and the Jews. That man, of course, was Adolf Hitler. 

Read about how Hitler turned Germany into a one-party state, of his murderous reign and the descent into war and genocide.

The Clever Teens’ Guide to Nazi Germany covers all the major facts and events giving you a clear and straightforward overview: from the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party, his domestic policies and foreign dealings, the racism and murder to World War Two and the Holocaust.

Lasting six years and a day, the Second World War saw the civilian, however young or old, in the frontline of war. Civilian deaths accounted for 5% of those killed during the First World War; but during the Second, of the 50 million plus killed, it was over 66%. During the 2,174 days of the conflict, a thousand people died for each and every hour it lasted. With 81 of the world's nations involved, compared to 28 during the First World War, this war, unlike any other, was total war.

The Clever Teens' Guide to The Cold War

From the end of World War Two to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 the world lived within the shadow of the Cold War. For almost half a century the East and the West eyed each other with suspicion and often hostility. Two ideologies, two political systems, two cultures, two superpowers fought for dominance, each firm in the belief that history would prove them right. And all the time the threat of World War Three remained a distinct possibility, the spectre of nuclear weapons a constant fear.

The Clever Teens’ Guide to The Cold War is the concise account of the political tensions that arose as the world rebuilt after World War Two - an era beset by the constant fear of nuclear weapons and the looming threat of a Third World War.
