About Terry Deary: 'A History of the World in Ten Wars' - The Milton Rooms
In his latest book, A History of the World in Ten Wars , Deary takes us on a fast-paced irreverent journey through the battles that shaped our world, asking the big questions:
- What is war actually good for?
- Why do we keep making the same mistakes?
- And is there ever a better way?
Expect surprising insights, unexpected truths, and plenty of humour including:
- Why ancient Greeks finally united after centuries of fighting each other
- The Mongols' ingenious (and oddly practical) approach to warfare
- How teabags were invented by accident
- Why Napoleon wasn't defeated by winter - but by a heatwave
- And why the 'World Wars' might really have been one long war with a break
PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS DESIGNED FOR AN ADULT AUDIENCE
