About this series
The 20th Century was the age of the public intellectual and foremost amongst the thinkers and writers who helped interpret the century was George Orwell. His best known works, Animal Farm and 1984 have become the means by which most of humanity in the decades since his death have come to explore the issues of totalitarianism, the surveillance state and propaganda. In this new ebook, the first in Explaining History's biography series, Julia Routledge explores the life and the works of Orwell, from his days as an imperial policeman in Burma to his experiences in the slums of London and Paris and on the battlefields of the Spanish Civil War. This book serves as far more than an introductory guide to the events of his life or a narrative account of Orwell's travels. It is an exploration of the man and his writing and the times that shaped both.
20th Century Lives is a new series from Explaining History, taking pivotal figures from the last century and exploring their legacies in an accessible and concise way; ideal for history enthusiasts, students and first time readers of modern history.

- Red Sun At War Part Three: Fighting back from the Coral Sea to the Kokoda Trail.
By early 1942 the Japanese appeared to be unstoppable. On land, sea and in the air they have devastated their European and American enemies and in the space of a few months built a vast empire in the Pacific and South East Asia. 1942 would be a year of desperate struggle for the Australians and Americans who defended the Marshall Islands and Papua, the only defences that Australia possessed against the encroaching enemy. This ebook tells the story of the dogged defence of Australia and the end of Japan's ambitions of permanent conquest, charting the end of her run of conquests and the start of a long defensive retreat that would end, three years later with total defeat. This is the third part of a six ebook series on the Pacific War, but can also be read as a stand alone title. Explaining History ebooks take the often convoluted and complex narratives of war, strategy and combat and make them accessible for a wide readership without losing depth and analysis.
