Terrible Traitors is a horrible compendium of the worst traitors in history. Were they really all bad? You decide. The master of making history fun, Terry Deary, tells the tales of fifty brutal betrayals across history. Did you know that the oldest story in the world is about the traitor Enkidu, who dared to rise up against King Gilgamesh? You might already know about Caesar and his unfaithful senators, but have you heard about Walter Tirel, the Norman knight who went out hunting with King William the Conqueror? Well, only one man returned. Walter claimed it was an accident, but he had a pretty good track record with his aim...

There have always been people who are willing to switch sides,
  let down a friend, betray their country and turn traitor. Sometimes
  they do it for love, often because of their beliefs, maybe out
  of pride . perhaps even greed. (And sometimes just for fun.)




  Nothing could ever make you become a traitor though . could
  it?



  fully illustrated throughout and packed with horrible
  stories - with all the horribly hilarious bits included


  with a fresh take on the classic Horrible Histories
  style, perfect for fans old and new

  the perfect series for anyone looking for a fun
  and informative read 

  Horrible Histories has been entertaining children
  and families for generations with books, TV, stage shows, magazines,
  games and the brilliantly funny Horrible
  Histories: the Movie - Rotten Romans.
