Poetry from the History of Politics, Society, Culture and Climate Change....1900-2020 Peter Fernandez

Fascinating Book condenses 120 Years of History into just 60-odd pages of 30 "Power Poems". This unique poetry collection tells it like it was (and is). It takes readers on a whirlwind tour through twelve decades of major events, people, conflicts and culture - all told through thirty intense and truly engaging poems which together with valuable notes alongside, make the historical details in the poems unforgettable. It covers significant details from the rise and fall of the British Raj to Brian Cox, Greta Thunberg, World Wars, the first moon landing, 9/11, #MeToo and even COVID-19 --- eliminating the need to bury our heads in thousands of pages of history books. It provides a quick refresher to remember the facts of critical life-changing events, and some unsavoury cultural traditions from earlier centuries that continue even today. The poems lucidly jog memories of the history learned during school and college education, only this time - we will remember them!
