You Wouldn't Want to Be a Ninja Warrior! (You Wouldn't Want to…: History of the World)

In the mid-16th century, rival warlords are fighting for control of Japan.

Do you have the discipline to become one of them? Does being a Ninja Warrior or a Pony Express Rider sound fun and exciting to you? Get ready to discover the not-so-pretty truth! In this lively series, YOU are the main character in some of history's goriest, darkest, and most horrific moments. Hilarious illustrations, captions, and sidebars leave no doubt that you simply wouldn't want to be there.
