10-yr-old makes history by writing book on world history

New Delhi: World History in 3 points, written by 10-year-old Zac Sangeeth, promises to give its readers -- whether students or curious history buffs -- a bird’s view of history by presenting every topic in three crisp bite-sized capsules. The book, published by Hachette India, claims to cover 101 topics “from ancient Egypt and imperial China to the Dark Ages and the Industrial Revolution, from Chanakya and Max Weber to Alexander to Ashoka, and from the Crusades and the Iranian Revolution to Socrates and Hegel”.

“My book World History in 3 Points takes a bird’s eye view of history -- a broad, to-the-point-approach. I try cutting through details, simplifying complexities, distilling them into summaries,” debutant author Sangeeth said.

Sangeeth, touted to be among the world’s youngest commissioned nonfiction series authors, is currently a fifth grade student at Head Start Educational Academy, Bengaluru. The book, priced at `267, is presently available for sale on offline and online stores. (PTI)
