 If you want to hear the dreadful truth about... January 13, 2008

...Dad's Army, or how sweet rationing drove a teacher to steal from his pupils, or what happened when an elephant got loose in the blackout, the full foul facts about life on the home front are laid out before your ears. It's packed with quizzes, sketches and jokes, as well as mini-dramas and real life re-enactments - telling you the kind of foul facts which just aren't available from a classroom education! This book is like most of the other Horrible Histories which have very practical timeline which are terrific! Rating: 7/ 10.

`The Woeful Second World War gives you the dire details about the worst war ever - from snow-bound cities under siege to fly-infested jungle trenches.
Want to know why wearing white knickers could get you killed in the Second World War?'
Read on!
The usual Deary humour flows through the 136 pages packed with facts, written in a variety of fonts and full of black and white illustrations and cartoons, from Martin Brown.
Split into 7 chapters:-
Terrible timeline
Home horrors
Frightful fighting
Awesome animals
Lousy liars
Chilling for children
The Holocaust
with an introduction and an epilogue.
Read on for curious quizzes, rotten recipes, gruesome games and much more.
History has never been so horrible!'
`23rd August 1939
Shock! Deadly enemies unite! Mr Adolf Hitler of Germany (with a toothbrush moustache) and Mr Josef Stalin of the Soviet Union (with a yard-brush moustache) peacefully agree not to fight one another. No chance. Never trust a man with a moustache.....
1st September 1939
A. Hitler (the liar) had promised not to invade Poland. Today his army invades Poland...... and `peacefully' shares it with the Soviets. No one asked the Poles, of course.
Britain and France say they'll fight for Poland's freedom.
That means war!............'
 Amazing, amusing, tragic and poignant all at the same time November 30, 2006

As a 13 year old I can remember having to learn about Franz Ferdinand, The Black Hand Gang, allies and enemies, dates and times and other mundane facts that actually didn't mean much to me.
In contrast, this book would enthuse any Year 7 pupil (and in my case 40+) to do a GCSE in History or just be grateful for our freedom and the fact that we can read a book like this!
Brilliant Way to Learn, and Retain, Historical Knowledge! July 13, 2004

'Dire details about blitzed Britan that affected everyone in the country.'
'Every Governement lies to its people! In Italy, theirs said that they had bombed Britain so bad that they had shot the Loch Ness Monster and killed it!
"That must have been messy!"
"No, it was Nessie!"Superb wit and wisdom mix to make this one of the best of the audiobooks from the utterly fantastic, Mr Deary!
interesting way to learn about history . August 12, 2000
