The Best One-Hour History series by history teacher Robert Freeman is for those who want a quick but coherent overview of major historical events. It will also serve those who need a competent high-level introduction before going further.
Each volume is less than 60 pages long and provides a clear and concise account of the episode under discussion. Details include the context in which it arose, the major actors, the event itself, and the major consequences.
“When I began teaching,” says Freeman, “I found the history textbooks were boring. It’s no wonder so many people, especially students, hate history. I wanted a guide where, in about an hour, the reader could get a clear and coherent idea of what happened, and why, for all of those ‘big events’ that hold iconic status in Western Civilization. If one hour was all the reader could invest, they would still have a well-grounded, well-rounded knowledge of the event or period. I couldn’t find this kind of history in any other books, so I decided I would write it myself. The Best One-Hour History series is the result.”
The Best One-Hour History series can be purchased from Amazon.com and through all major booksellers. They are also available in digital format. All proceeds from the book will be going to One Dollar For Life.
