Description

Full of provocative facts and true stories of courage, rebellion and survival, this book will encourage young people to examine their own beliefs and values.

  • Are cannibals civilised?

  • Is the guillotine a humane form of execution?

  • Would you be prepared to die to defend your beliefs?


  • The story of human civilisation is written in blood, so how did we end up where we are today? With a mix of provocative facts, gory details and amazing stories of personal courage, Beverley MacDonald takes us on a race through history, as she asks the biggest question of all: What sort of society do you want to live in?
