Terry Deary presents the foul but fascinating story of humans, from brain-nibbling Neanderthals to terrified teenage soldiers in the twentieth century - all in glorious and goriest colour and now in flexi-bound paperback format. The truth about foul fighting is revealed in the Horrible Histories Rules of War, and readers can meet fifty of the most Vicious Villains of all time in the frightful fold-out feature. History has never been so horrible!

If you have read the regular `Horrible History' series of books, you will be aware of the way in which TERRY DEARY puts knowledge across, in a humorous way. This book is no exception. `Ever since the first `Horrible Histories' (HH) book appeared they have been used for all sorts of things.... To prove history teachers wrong To pester parents with endless questions and quizzes To disgust Grannies with foul facts at the tea table (HH books have also been used to prop up wobbly tables, block draughts under doors and been torn up for toilet paper - but we won't go into that!) Delightfully illustrated, throughout, in colour, by Martin Brown. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It tells you all about your subject and useful facts. Horrible Histories in general are great books, providing facts and fun for all! I would recommend every part of all of the Horrible Histories books! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
