Frightful First World War

Part of the popular 'Horrible Histories' series, this book by Terry Deary uncovers all the 'foul facts' about the First World War, also known as the 'Great War'. It details the four grim years of horrors and hardships, from the suffering soldiers to the peace-loving protesters. Readers will discover the nasty bits of history, including information on gruesome gas and lovely lice, what the 'Fat King' did with food scraps and dead horses, why sniffing your own pee could save a life in a gas attack, and how a pair of old socks gave away top German secrets. The book is fully illustrated and packed with toe-curling stories, quizzes, and timelines, telling history like it really was in a way that is engaging for young readers.
