In the 1940s, the ANC's Youth League transformed the organisation
into a defiant, mass-based force that fought for freedom. Oliver
Tambo was a prominent member of that Youth League, but his most
important role was still to come. In 1960, the South African
Government banned the ANC. Tambo was appointed to continue the
ANC's fight - from outside the country. During this time, he helped
strengthen the ANC's organisation and assisted in establishing
underground structures inside the country. He brought the struggle
for liberation in South Africa to the attention of the rest of the
world and, in doing so, won the admiration and the support of all
those with whom he made contact. Thirty years later, Tambo returned
to his motherland and handed the ANC back to the people, intact and
triumphant. They Fought for Freedom tells the life stories of
southern African leaders who struggled for freedom and justice. In
spite of the important roles they played in the history of southern
Africa, most of these leaders have been largely ignored by the
history books. The series tells their stories in an entertaining
manner, in clear language and aims to restore them to their
rightful place in history.
Now in paperback, Lynne Cheney's dramatic and New York Times"
bestselling account of a great leader's patriotic feat.
Christmas night, 1776, was a troubled time for our young country.
In the six months since the Declaration of Independence had been
signed, General George Washington and his troops had suffered
defeat after defeat at the hands of the British. It looked as
though our struggle for independence might be doomed, when
Washington made a bold decision. He would lead the main body of his
army across the Delaware River and launch a surprise attack on
enemy forces.
Washington and his men were going against the odds. It seemed
impossible that the ragtag Americans could succeed against the
mightiest power in the world. But the men who started across the
icy Delaware loved their country and their leader. Under his
command they would turn the tide of battle and change the course of
history.
Now in paperback for the first time, this story of the military
campaign that began on Christmas night in 1776 will teach readers
about the heroism, persistence, and patriotism of those who came
before them.

Apartheid is responsible for hunger, homelessness and death.
However, the worst crime of apartheid is that it made black people
believe they were inferior to white people. Steve Biko was someone
who never believed this lie. He showed black people that they had a
culture and a history of which they should be proud. Biko's
powerful ideas became known as Black Consciousness and spread
throughout the country. Black people took notice - and stood up in
their thousands to challenge the apartheid monster. Biko died in
detention in 1977. His ideas, however, lived on. In this book, you
will meet Steve Biko the young boy, the student, the activist and
the proud father of Black Consciousness. They Fought for Freedom
tells the life stories of southern African leaders who struggled
for freedom and justice. In spite of the important roles they
played in the history of southern Africa, most of these leaders
have been largely ignored by the history books. The series tells
their stories in an entertaining manner, in clear language and aims
to restore them to their rightful place in history.

A beautifully illustrated story celebrating the poppy's history.
Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman have teamed up with the Royal
British Legion to tell an original story that explains the meaning
behind the poppy. In Flanders' fields, young Martens knows his
family's story, for it is as precious as the faded poem hanging in
their home. From a poor girl comforting a grieving soldier, to an
unexpected meeting of strangers, to a father's tragic death many
decades after treaties were signed, war has shaped Martens's family
in profound ways - it is their history as much as any nation's.
They remember. They grieve. They honour the past. This book also
includes a full-colour, illustrated afterword that explains the
history that inspired the story. 1 per hardback from the sale of
POPPY FIELD in the UK will be paid to Royal British Legion Trading
Limited which gives its taxable profits to The Royal British Legion

A biography emphasizing the childhood of the man who became the first African-American to sit on the United States Supreme Court.
An engaging, alternative history of the world for children, which
helps to make sense of today. The present can loom very large in a
child's mind: all the crises and challenges of the modern world can
feel overwhelming and at times dispiriting. This book is a big
history of the world, from the beginnings of the universe to now,
which places the reader at its centre. It encourages them to think
about how and why they experience the world as they do and offers a
helpful perspective by placing their thoughts and feelings in the
context of our history and evolution. Big Ideas From History is an
immense story of what has happened through time that speaks
personally and constructively to a growing mind. What might the
dinosaurs or the ancient Egyptians, the Aztec warriors or the
Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century tell us that could be
interesting and useful to hear now? The insights we need are
scattered in time and place, waiting to be discovered. The book
also looks to the future and asks the reader to imagine a world
they would like to live in. What might they learn from
self-knowledge? How can they grow, develop and create their own
place in history? It is a thoughtful and inspiring introduction to
the world around us, which encourages the child to engage with
themselves and others through history.
