Description
A humorous and irreverent guide to world history, featuring 366 profanity-filled tales of triumph and terror, science and stupidity, courage and cowardice. From ancient times to the modern day, James Fell takes you on an uproarious and informative tour of the past, revealing a history replete with deeds both noble and despicable. You'll encounter shocking stories, including the time a woman was jailed for her play about homosexuality, the infamous defenestration of Prague, and the deadliest day in history, which occurred in China in 1556. This book is not for the faint of heart, but if you're ready for a history lesson like no other, then this is the book for you.
