I was really impressed I have always loved history but most books I read I never finish as they bore me to tears right from the start. This "History in one hour" - World War One by Rupert Colley was actually very good. And like it says you can read it in one hour.I really like how it is laid out and gets right to the point. From the start you learn what started the war to begin with. Was I shocked that this war was started all because of a 19 year old boy who killed two people, one of whom was at that time very important (wont give it away)And then to see how many of the other major countries of that time were brought into or joined in on the war was really fascinating. And to learn at the end that one injured soldier laying in the hospital angry at Germany's signing the treaty and their "defeat" turned out to be one of Germany's worst leaders ever (in my opinion).If you like history too but you don't know a whole lot about World War One - as what is in this book you don't learn in school - and you want to know more about the war, more details, timelines, etc. Then this book will do all that and more.Great read.
