Question

I enjoy reading Terry Deary(:) where can I read similar works?

Answer 1

On that level of reading I'd auggest Kjartan Poskitt and Nick Admas both can be found easy on Amazon dot Com - - - myself I gleam similar info from edgy history books by Nathanel Philbrick whose 'In the Heart of the Sea; the tragic tale of the whaleship Essex' details canibalism amonst a small boat's crew and a team of writers Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan Witts who wrote about 'The Day the World Ended,' and 'The Great Sanfrisco Earthquake,' and 'Voyage of the Damn.'

Answer 2

In a quick minute, I will say what I recall off the top of my head:

-- Jesus Christ created a slow but definite upheaval against the staid and decadent Jewish and pagan establishments of the Roman and other kingdoms and principalities.

--the invention of iron tools and weapons made an upheaval in the way people worked and fought.

--paper was an invention that upheaved the way we stored information. the press--remember the Gutenberg Bible?-- created another upheaval in the way information was stored and moved (conveyed or transmitted);

--the invasions of the northern and asian (steppes) nations or tribes created or furthered the upheaval which was consequent to the fall or decline of the Roman Empire;

-- the Renaissance & rise of humanism created an upheaval in our theologies and philosophies;

--the invention of gunpowder and the inventions of the cannon, the musket, the rifle, the pistol, the automatic weapon, the nuclear bomb, the airplane, the helicopter, each created upheavals in the ways & technologies of warfare.

--guerrilla or non-conventional warfares such as those practiced by native americans against europeans, by Spanish against Napoleonic troops, by Communists against the Tsar's and later the White Russians, the Russians against the Nazis, the Viet Cong and other peoples against the Japanese, the French, and later the Americans, and now the al-Qaeda and the Taliban against the Americans, are upheavals.

Answer 3

The Mongols created the biggest upheaval in history.

Answer 4

One upheaval was the Rwandan genocide of 1994.
There's a book about it called, "We wish to inform you that
tomorrow we will be buried with our families." Absolute
insanity as one tribe of people completely go to work
slaughtering another tribe of people who live among them.
Pure misery.
