An online video series on Youtube called “Crash Course” has been producing videos that explain world history. The series has now caught up to present day and is going to begin a United States history series. The first episode will be published sometime this week.
The world history and US history series are narrated by young adult author John Green, who has written books such as “Looking for Alaska” and “The Fault in Our Stars.” Along with the two history courses, Green also narrates the new English Literature series.
His brother, Hank Green, narrates the sister courses of Biology and Ecology.
