National Geographic World History Biographies series.
These books outline the lives of famous figures, from their early years to their deaths; their lasting impacts are also discussed. An emphasis on placing the biographies into the context of world history at the time is done well. Each double-page spread includes a running timeline. Maps, archival photographs, sidebars, and quotes add interest. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these National Geographic World History Biographies titles: Julius Caesar, Mao Zedong, Anne Frank, and Mozart.
