The Story of Gibraltar cover

Explore the history of the Rock, from millions of years ago to today, with this visually stunning timeline! The nearly 2-metre-long, fold-out timeline is uniquely broken out by date and ruling party, with over 100 pictures and captions. From cave drawings created hundreds of thousands of years ago, to the many fights between Christians and Muslims for control, the most important historical moments in the country are highlighted. An easy-to-read chronicle, written in the form of nearly 40 newspaper articles, highlights key moments, such as the use of Gibraltar in major trade routes by the Phoenicians and its function as a key intelligence location for the British Navy during the Second World War. Perfect for history buffs of any age!
