Great Discoveries

by Philip Steele

Published 12 December 1941
This is a history series that looks at some familiar topics in a new way. Each of the six case studies looks at the background to a major event and sets the scene. The reader is then invited to pick the outcome - what happened next? - from a variety of plausible alternatives. The device of having to turn the book round adds to the fun. Archive photographs and illustrations bring each story dramatically to life.
