Each of the titles in Turning Points in History examines a major historical watershed. It recounts the chain of events leading up to the event, and the repurcussions, both immediate and long-term. It also evaluates the concept of a turning point, assessing in what way this event really was one. Interpretations run throughout the books, showing how history is informed by a complicated web of divergent views. These books are designed to be thought-provoking, but their approach is direct and embraces the everyday views of ordinary people. They bring history to life, make riveting reading and provide a rich source for topic work and general interest.

We were encircled, pursued, obstructed and intercepted on the ground by a force of several hundred thousand men. We encountered untold difficulties and obstacles on the way, but by keeping our two feet going, we swept across a distance of more than 10, 000 kilometres (6000 miles). Has there ever been a long march like ours?' ~#~ THIS BOOK: Another of Turning point in History wonderful book, easy to read as paragraphs are different colours and not page after page of text, great old illustrations, produced to entertain and inform.
