VIEWPOINTS AND PERSPECTIVES

History is filled with amazing stories—and each of those stories depends on the teller’s
perspective. In the Viewpoints and Perspectives series, each book explores the context,
significance, and details of major historic events and periods through the eyes of three
very different people. Compelling, fact-based point of view narratives help readers
discover the ways varied backgrounds and experience can lead to differing perspectives.
Inquiry-based sidebars encourage readers to think critically about historical events and
interact with the text.
