On which day was history's shortest war waged and won (in roughly
40 minutes)? How was Napoleon bested by a group of rabbits in 1807?
Why did a dispute about beer in an Oxford pub lead to over 100
deaths and 470 years of penance? Why in 1752 did Britain go to bed
on 2nd September and wake up on the 14th? How did a women's march
in 1917 set off the Russian Revolution? On This Day in History
brings to life a key event that happened on each day of the year.
From the most important British battle that you've never heard of
(20 May 685) to the first meeting of Lennon and McCartney (6 July
1957), and from why Julius Caesar should have been wary of the Ides
of March (15 March 44BC) to the day Jeanne de Clisson became a
pirate and single-handedly declared war on the King of France (2
August 1343), history is full of unlikely heroes and fascinating
turning points. In this book Dan Snow shows us how each day offers
a different and unexpected insight into our past. And story by
gripping story, this year grows into a vivid, very human history of
the world.
