Five pillars and 24 series. Ancient civilizations, country histories, military history, cross-cutting themes, and a dedicated line for teen readers. Start where your curiosity is loudest.
The civilizations that made the world we know. Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Maya, the Aztec, and the cultures that shaped the rest.
Continent by continent, country by country. England across a thousand years, Asia from the Middle East to Indonesia, the Americas, Africa, and the histories that rarely get a full English treatment.
The wars and campaigns that drew the borders we live inside today.
Cross-cutting volumes on the forces that shaped multiple civilizations at once: religion, labor, the rhythms of historical time itself.
History written for teenagers. Same research and the same subjects, in language for a younger reader.
Some history reads like a textbook on a quiet Sunday. Dates and treaties lined up in rows. Paragraphs that stretch until you give up. We started Enthralling History in 2021 to do the opposite. Bring the story forward. Keep the research honest. Trust the reader to enjoy both.
Every title is built on primary and secondary sources, written in plain modern English, with the people who lived through the events kept in the middle of the page. The arc runs from origin to consequence, the way a real story does.
Today the catalog spans ancient civilizations from Mesopotamia to Mesoamerica, the histories of every continent, military campaigns ancient through modern, and a growing teen line. Across paperback, ebook, and audiobook. Spanish and German editions for many.
