Bizarre History: Strange Happenings, Stupid Misconceptions, Distorted Facts and Uncommon Events

This is history served up high-octane, with all of the fun and none of the boredom. It's not about memorizing lists of dates or names, or remembering which general won what battle. Instead, Bizarre History merrily digs up scandals, strangeness, and scintillating details that illuminate personalities, events, and real life. Think of it as history's juicy unauthorized biography -- a historical document in which relevance never gets in the way of a good read.
