To better understand our world, it is useful to look far beyond the standard, often exclusive, texts taught in the West. History's Forgotten Milestones opens readers' eyes to important places, events and peoples that have been ignored by other books yet directly affected our history. These stories come from far-off lands and little-known places. This obscurity, however, does not diminish their effect on the world, and, in fact, heightens their drama for the reader. History fans will be captivated by the chronicles of exotic lands that led to monumental changes in the global geopolitical landscape.
