Description
An alphabetical miscellany of some of history's most famous and most bizarre moments. Charge in the American Revolution (but on which side?), journey through Baghdad to discover the origins of the Arabian Nights and head to Sicily for the first face-off between Carthage and Rome. Along the way, find the answers to questions like: which Mitford sister tried to seduce her crush, Adolf Hitler? What are history's top 10 monkeys? And why did the Romans inspire so much American science fiction? The book also includes puzzles and a pub quiz.
