Description
|
|
|
|
The author of Don't Unravel When You Travel and Book of Science Stuff, Joe Rhatigan here presents another lighthearted collection of actual facts—more or less—for the bathroom camper or minivan traveler. "History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there," as George Santayana aphorized, and who are we to argue, as Rhatigan serves up this history without the boring bits. From the antics of ancient Roman emperors to the domestic affairs of American presidents, from mad kings and scheming geniuses to big blunders and quick comebacks, this is history with the top down.
