INTRODUCTION
When I was a small boy, I would watch television. I had seen adults around me, fascinated by this blinking, blaring cube in the corner of the room. However, my mother never wanted me to become a couch potato. She explained to me the difference between the various programmes. She told me that soaps and films were not real and that news and documentaries were real. She urged me to think more about what is real and less on everything else.
For this reason, I was interested in history from a very early age. Whether I saw it on television, or whether I read about it in books, I was always fascinated by people, events and stories from the past. I knew they were real, that they had really happened. You know, just about everybody and everything has a history, including you!
Once upon a time, you couldn't do much but drink milk, make gurgling noises, dirty your nappy and sleep. Then, there was a point in your personal history when you began to crawl and eventually, you began to walk, alhamdulillah.
