Weird History 101

They bored you in school with the dull stuff. Now you can enjoy reading about the interesting stuff. Your teachers built up heroes–such as the Founding Fathers–with their sanitized myths, but hid their dark side and flaws. Now they’re revealed. If your teachers taught you one-sided stories, now you can get alternative points-of-view with firsthand accounts by people who were there.

If you’d like to know more about Custer, Geronimo, Nero, Attila the Hun, the Red Baron, Wyatt Earp, Houdini, the Titanic, pirates, propaganda, nuclear weapons, battles, massacres, war crimes, spies, terrorists, executions, assassinations, cannibalism, human sacrifice, drugs, and sex. And you don’t mind taking an irreverent poke at politicians, presidents, the legal system, medicine, and weird religions. Then this just might be the book for you. If you can handle it.

This book doesn’t hold back. You might be shocked or even offended, but you’re sure to be enlightened. No doubt you’ll remember some of these bits of history for a long time.

This is history as entertainment…and it’s all true.

New updated edition with additional illustrations.
