These comprehensive volumes give students and researchers a detailed look at the actions and impact of key events in world history.

  • Chronology (a sidebar detailing events in order of occurrence)
  • Historic forces (a summary of the key political, social, and economic forces that influenced the event)
  • Issue/Incident Summary (an explanatory essay explaining the key causes, historical context and implications of the event)
