Description: The horrors and hardships of the First World War were meant to last a mere four months ... but ground on for four grim years. Of all the history in the world, this war -- known as the Great War -- was perhaps the most horrible. With timelines, quizzes, and lots of information about all the nasty bits from gruesome gas to lovely lice, Frightful First World War tells it like it really was in a way that will engage young readers.
