At every stage in world history, a core group of individuals have been the driving force behind the most critical events. They have defined the issues, pushed for change, debated, and led others for a cause. Each title in the People at the Center of series pulls together the core collection people that have influenced, caused, and reacted to the world's most significant historical events. Each extended encyclopedic entry covers biographical details as a basis for leading into the significance of each person and how they fit into the bigger picture.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-- Two books that examine the causes, events, effects, results, and long term influences of these wars. Personal: ities--with appropriate quotations--as well as battles, heroics, and atrocities receive vivid, objective attention, along with a sharp-eyed look at what was happening on the civilian front. Organized chronologically and illustrated with black-and-white reproductions of drawings, paintings, posters, and photographs, both titles contain timelines, well-drawn maps, and age-appropriate listings of further reading. Each volume makes effective use of white space, headings, and informative sidebars. Stewart's narrative isn't quite as smoothly flowing as Vail's, but this is a very minor flaw. Both will be used for report writers and browsers alike. --David A. Lindsey, Lakewood Junior/Senior High School, WA
