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?
