History in an Hour is a comprehensive website run by the series editor, Rupert Colley. Rupert was, until recently, a librarian who began the series from his home office.

The History in an Hour series is a bestselling series of e-books, audio and apps that summarise key areas of world history in digest form, with each title taking no more than sixty minutes to read. On this site you will find information about all the titles along with extracts and interviews with some of the authors.

This is history for busy people – concise, authoritative, well-researched and entertainingly written for a quick and informative read.
