Britain's What's On Event Guide
Kemps Presents Terry Deary 'A History of the World in 10 Wars'
Join Terry Deary, the number one Sunday Times bestselling author, for a lively and laugh-out-loud exploration of history’s most pivotal conflicts, told only as he can.
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
