Description
Author Tony Robinson explores how there has been an unseen army undertaking hard, dangerous and unpleasant work throughout British history, from the Roman Invasion to the reign of Queen Victoria. Whether it's swilling out the crotch of a knight's soiled armor, collecting guillemot eggs on wind-swept cliffs, or cleaning Tudor era cess-pits, Robinson personally endures it all to illustrate the disgusting, dangerous, painful, exhausting, and humiliating jobs that have helped shape Western civilization.
