Six pillars and sixty-plus series. Ancient civilizations, country histories, military history, biographies, and history for younger readers. Start where your curiosity is loudest.
The civilizations that built the modern world. Greece, Rome, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Mesoamerica, the Bronze Age societies, and the peoples Rome called barbarians.
The story of every continent, country by country. America state by state, Europe nation by nation, plus the histories of Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the regions usually skipped over.
The wars that shaped the borders we live inside today. World wars, civil wars, ancient campaigns, and the battles people still argue about a thousand years later.
Single-life books on the figures whose decisions still echo: generals, scientists, presidents, founders, and the lesser-known names who turned out to matter.
History written for ages eight to twelve. Same research and the same subjects, in language for younger readers.
Compilation volumes for readers who want a region, period, or theme in a single book. Each collection gathers several titles into one.
Some history reads like a homework assignment. Dates and treaty names lined up in rows, or paragraphs that stretch until you give up. We started Captivating History in 2017 to do the opposite. Bring the story forward. Keep the research honest. Trust the reader to enjoy both.
Every title is built on primary and secondary sources, then written in clean modern English. The subject is named on the cover. The book stays on it. The arc runs from origin to consequence, with the people who lived through it in the middle.
Today the catalog spans ancient civilizations, world and country histories, military history, biography, and a dedicated line for younger readers. More than 700 titles across paperback, ebook, and audiobook. Spanish editions for many. A growing German list.
Captivating History titles have collected tens of thousands of reviews across Amazon, Audible, and Goodreads since 2017. Three voices below.
“An interesting history lesson in a well written and easily understood book. You will finish with a deeper understanding of an era. I love to learn new things, and this book taught me much.”
“Overall, I am a big fan of the Captivating History series and this book didn't disappoint. While I consider myself well read on the War of the Roses and Tudor era, all three of the related releases from Captivating History contain information that I wasn't familiar with.”
“It was helpful to have the timeline at the end of the book. I found it shocking that some Emperors were only given a sentence or two for their reigns. The kind of detail you don't get in a textbook.”
Captivating History on YouTube turns each subject into a narrated documentary. Watch before you read to get the shape of a period, or revisit a topic on video after finishing the book.
