The Savage Years: Tales From the 20th Century (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517797355)

The suicide of Hitler's niece, World War Two's first victim, the killing of Rasputin, the assassinations of Malcolm X and Franz Ferdinand, the Battle of the Somme, the betrayal of Anne Frank, and the woman who almost killed Lenin - these are some of the stories you'll find in Rupert Colley's new collection of articles, The Savage Years; Tales From the 20th Century.

Covering World War One, World War Two, the Cold War, the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and much more besides, immerse yourself in sixty stories from some of the key moments of modern (and a few not so modern) history.

Fully illustrated, with 140 photos, this makes perfect reading for commuters, students or the curious, or an ideal Christmas present for those who love a bit of war and misery.

Within The Savage Years: Tales From the 20th Century, you'll also meet Vladimir Lenin, Douglas Haig, Horst Wessel, Nikolai Bukharin, Fritz Haber, Joseph Goebbels, Joseph McCarthy, Rudolph Hess, Stalin's mother and daughter, Leon Trotsky, Edith Cavell, Charles de Gaulle, Wilhelm II, Abraham Lincoln, Grigori Rasputin, and many, many more.
