Usborne History for Beginners

Every nation tells its history in its own way. This essential guide looks behind those stories to reveal how historical narratives are created: who decides which facts and events are taught to children, which truths are shaped, altered, or even denied, and why perspectives can differ. Through clear explanations supported by comics and diagrams, the book shows readers how to analyse historical accounts, investigate both recent and ancient history for themselves, and understand why this process is crucial to making sense of today’s world.
