It is full of moments, facts, and details so extraordinary that they seem impossible. except that every single one of them is true. 50 Amazing Facts About History is the fact book that will make young readers aged 7 to 12 fall in love with the past.
From the ancient world to the modern era, this book reveals 50 of the strangest, most surprising, and most genuinely illuminating facts in the history of human civilisation.
