This series, for a lower reading level, covers key modern history topics in an exciting and approachable way. Each title covers a major war or conflict from the 20th Century and looks at the causes, major incidents and results from the point of view of the people who lived through it.

Primary and secondary sources are included (with an emphasis on 1st-person narrative) and the sequence of events is described in a clear, accessible way. The focus is on the idea of conflict and change, and their impact on the lives of the people on the frontline. These books will hold the reader's attention by telling exciting stories e.g. espionage during the cold war.
