Do you know that a British shell smashed into a trench and killed most of the Germans in it during the Battle of Somme? One German, however, escaped with just a shell splinter in his face. He was Adolf Hitler. He was lucky to survive WW1. Our grand parents were unlucky that he started WW2.
This book was written to reach people who hated studying history. I was fascinated by the simple prose and the childish illustrations. I kind of know that war is ugly, tragic and dirty. But some of the facts that Terry dug up was shocking!
Anyone under the age of 50 should get a copy and find out what happened in the year 1914.
