The Great Wall of China Leonard Everett Fisher About 2,200 years ago, Mongols were  invading  China.  “Build  a wall,”  roared  Emperor  Ch’in.

The Story of the Middle Ages Michael J. McHugh & John Southworth This world history and church history resource covers the period of history from the time of Christ to the beginning of the early explorers, focusing on the Middle Ages, in a tasteful manner.
