Richard Humble read Military History at Oriel College, Oxford. Now retired after 17 years as a Prison Teacher, he is a published author of 44 books on history for both adult and children's readership.
"This book is lavishly illustrated." Oddly written sort of adults as children. Oddly dated too. Grating asides such as comparisons with stone of scone being stolen, "British Raj", domesday book and Zulu wars. A bit too eccentrically british oriented for its readership.
