Books with author P. Robson

Discover how the First World War began, what life was like for soldiers in the trenches but also what life was like for the civilians left at home. Find out what kind of weapons were used, the ships and submarines that patrolled the seas, as well as facts and information about food shortages, espionage and the dreaded poison gas. Finally, learn how peace was achieved and how the aftermath of the First World War would affect Europe for many years to come.

This book is ideal for school project work or for those who want an "at-a-glance" overview of The Great Plague. Complete with descriptions of the key events of the plague, it explains how it started and spread, how it affected its victims, and how London life came to a virtual standstill during the outbreak. The timeline, glossary, and clearly-headed spreads make it easy to refer to essential dates, facts, and personalities. Maps, contemporary paintings, and pictures of artifacts all help bring the topic to life.
