£99.00 £109.00

Young & Adults Collection

Expose the hidden mechanisms, economic drivers, and profound human stories behind global empires with The History of Colonialism.

Published in English by Green Palm Publications and written by renowned historian and author Dr. Mehdi Mirkiai, this gripping 12-volume masterwork traces the timeline of global imperialism from the 15th to the 20th century.

Crafted in a compelling, narrative driven storytelling format, this bestselling collection makes complex geopolitical histories accessible, eye-opening, and deeply engaging for teenagers, young adults, and mature history enthusiasts alike.

Unlike dry academic textbooks, The History of Colonialism relies on over 75 reliable historical sources to deliver an honest, anti-colonial narrative. Each carefully structured volume zeroes in on a distinct region, theme, or crucial turning point in world history exposing the calculated methods used by colonial powers to conquer, divide, and exploit nations, while simultaneously celebrating the extraordinary courage of localized anti-colonial resistance movements.

A Global Journey Across 12 Captivating Volumes

This sweeping historical epic bridges cultural gaps and connects international trade boundaries, taking readers on a meticulously researched chronological journey:

  • The Foundations of Empire: Explore the initial sparks of maritime navigation, early European exploration, and cutthroat merchant monopolies driven by Europe's desperate hunger for Eastern spices, silks, and luxury goods.

  • The Human Cost: Confront the dark, global mechanics of the transatlantic slave trade, examining its catastrophic impact on human life and its deep connections to industrial wealth.

  • Covert Warfare and Sabotage: Delve into the shadow world of frontiers, political espionage, and "The Great Game," exposing how superpowers utilized tactical betrayals and mysterious assassinations to dismantle local progression.

  • The Spirit of Resistance: Witness inspiring historical revolts from the mountains of Colombia to the riverbanks of India proving that imperial superpowers were never invincible against the human pursuit of liberty.
