About the author

After graduating in history at University College London, I missed writing about history whether it was Tokugawa Japan or the American revolution. As a graphic designer and writer I wanted to combine history with a fun graphical style. Now I present a gift to children who have a curiosity about the world around them and its rich past, in the form of my series 'Simple History'.

Perfect if you...
... don't know anything (or only very little) about the Cold War.
... want to refresh your memory of the main events/actors/gadgets of the Cold War.
... are a CLIL (history) teacher and want to teach the Cold War (in English). The texts are great for introductions to the various aspects of the Cold War and the illustrations are motivating for both students and teachers alike. :)

(minus 1 star because I missed some words on the big picture - Why was this conflict so important both for the world and for the two super powers at the time? How does it still affect our lives today? etc.)
