DK's best-selling guide to the \""big ideas\"" of history - now fully revised and updated

Why did democracy emerge in ancient Greece? How did Spain conquer South and Central America? What caused the fall of the Berlin Wall?

Explaining the key events in world history in a clear and simple way, The History Book answers these questions and more besides, and is the perfect introduction to the subject - exploring and explaining everything from the dawn of civilisation to the 21st century with a combination of easy-to-follow explanations, innovative graphics, and intriguing quotes.

Discover the most significant moments in the history of the world, from the origins of Homo Sapiens to the arrival of the internet, and from the French Revolution to the Space Race. And come face to face with the world's most influential leaders, thinkers, and political figures, from Julius Caesar to Barack Obama.

Fully revised and updated with eight pages of brand-new content, including entries on the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, The History Book is a truly accessible and comprehensive route into a fascinating and essential subject.
