"An Amateur History of [X]" is my little side project for writing up free, digestible histories of countries around the world. These PDFs are written to help expand knowledge of foreign nations beyond what your high school might have taught while still being accessible to the layperson. You can suggest countries for me to cover, but right now I'm busy working on Japan. In order to use the hotlinks located in a booklet's Table of Contents, you need to download it.

NOTE: If you've already downloaded my booklet on North Korea, I've uploaded a revised version that standardizes formatting, fixes minor grammatical/phrasing errors, and includes recent events. I highly recommend downloading this new version and replacing an older copy.

I hope you guys enjoy! Feedback encouraged!

Have you read Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States"?  Good read.
