What They Don't Tell You about World War I

by Robert Fowke

This book explains how the war started, what it was about and who it involved. It describes the major battles and looks at what life was like for the soldiers in the trenches, the pilots in the air, the sailors at sea and the civilians back home. Written in the lively style common to this series, the author deals with this difficult subject in a sensitive and skilful manner, introducing humour only where appropriate. With black line illustrations throughout.

[Matt · Rating 2 out of 5]

I struggled to rate as I picked it from the library by mistake! I've gave it 2 stars as it was essentially a booked aimed at children and written in simple to read terminology with lots of explanations that where not needed. Having said that if I read it when I was younger it would get 5⭐️ as it would've been a great introduction to the Great War! Filled with facts most known to me a few that weren't but with it being a child's book was very quick to read.
