I agree with the comment about the Daily Mail, I was once offered a copy free with a Latte and refused to accept it. My dad used to read it and it always wanted to make me slit my wrists.
On the wider note about engaging the younger generation, I have twin boys of 14 and if anything as a result of the likes of the History channel etc they have a better appreciation of history and WW2 than I ever did at their age. They have recently come back from a WW1 tour of Belgium, we didn't do that sort of thing when I was a lad. I wrote a book with my boys in mind called Churchill's Secret Skills which takes Winstons WW2 talents for running the war and applies them to modern business. I figured if I could keep them interested enough to read it through to the end then I had just about pitched it right. You have to keep it engaging and throw in as much homour as possible.
