Resumen del Editor
The hilarious, irreverent guide to world history you never knew you needed, featuring 366 profanity-filled tales of triumph and terror, science and stupidity, courage and cowardice
Those who cannot remember the past . . . need a history teacher who says “f*ck” a lot.
Nazis are bad. The worst kind of bad. There are no very fine people among them. If you disagree, you won’t like this book.
Still here? Cool. You are about to receive an education unlike any you’ve previously experienced. In this uproarious and informative tour from ancient times to the modern day and everything in between, James Fell, the self-proclaimed “sweary historian,” reveals a past replete with deeds both noble and despicable. Throughout the book, he provides insightful analysis of all the sh!t that went down. Behold!
• In 1927, actress Mae West was sent to jail for “corrupting the morals of youth” with her first Broadway play, titled Sex. She served the time and followed up with a play about homosexuality.
• In 1419, church reformers in Prague, vexed over their leader having been burned at the stake, defenestrated city leaders from a high window. They died, because those kinds of Czechs don’t bounce.
• If you were in the province of Shaanxi in China on January 23, 1556, then it sucked to be you. It wasn’t the biggest earthquake ever, but it was the deadliest day in history.
• In 362 B.C.E., a battle between Greek city states debilitated both sides, making the region ripe for conquering by Phillip of Macedon—aka Alex the Great’s dad—and spelling the end of Greek democracy.
• In 1343, the husband of noblewoman Jeanne de Clisson was unjustly executed by the king of France. Furious, Jeanne became a pirate, selling all her possessions to fund a fleet and exact revenge.
• During World War II, three Dutch teens used their beauty to lure Nazis into the forest with the promise of a good time, then out came the guns and BLAM! They sent them off to Nazi hell.
If reading history doesn’t make you want to swear like a mom with a red-wine hangover walking barefoot through a LEGO-filled living room, then you’re not reading the right history. Across the ages, over 100 billion humans have lived and died. Some were motivated by greed, others by generosity. Many dedicated themselves to the art of killing, while others were focused on curing. There have been grave mistakes, and moments of greatness. And that is why . . . sh!t happens. Every day.

Gil (Domingo) is a struggling NYC actor who heads home to Philadelphia after the passing of his mother, Adelaide (Winfrey). The plan is to tidy-up her affairs as quickly and efficiently as possible, until a few unpredictably hilarious detours ensue. With his Aunt Glo (Washington) insisting on a proper burial, but an urn of ashes already in his hand, Gil gets thrown into a car by his best friend (Newell).

Five years ago, the US Space Force became a reality. And while those writing the checks took things very seriously, the other military branches did not. As a result, Space Force was populated by undesirables. My name is Captain Ethan Stone, a decorated member of SEAL Team Six turned Space Force "recruit". Flash forward five years and between tenses. President West is in office. Power has shifted. And Space Force is defunded. With just a handful of us still living on base, we find ourselves being evicted. But before all of us can leave, aliens invade.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Historia
“The Heron” is the nickname a big-city accountant has attached to himself in his new home near San Diego, where he’s using the alias to avoid a hit man who may be after him. It seems a former client believes that The Heron has skipped town with several million dollars not his own. Don Winslow’s ensuing, entertaining yarn is by turns twisty, dark, and comical as we observe the delicate dance between the pursuer and the pursued.

What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life. Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

History is the most dangerous place on earth. From dinosaurs the size of locomotives to meteors big enough to sterilize the planet, from famines to pandemics, from tornadoes to the Chicxulub asteroid, the odds of human survival are slim but not zero—at least, not if you know where to go and what to do. In each chapter of How to Survive History, Cody Cassidy explores how to survive one of history’s greatest threats: getting eaten by dinosaurs, being destroyed by the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, succumbing to the lava flows of Pompeii, being devoured by the Donner Party, and more.

Historia
History is the most dangerous place on earth. From dinosaurs the size of locomotives to meteors big enough to sterilize the planet, from famines to pandemics, from tornadoes to the Chicxulub asteroid, the odds of human survival are slim but not zero—at least, not if you know where to go and what to do. In each chapter of How to Survive History, Cody Cassidy explores how to survive one of history’s greatest threats: getting eaten by dinosaurs, being destroyed by the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, succumbing to the lava flows of Pompeii, being devoured by the Donner Party, and more.

Well played
Light- informative and told with an interesting perspective. The cussing made it appear as if told by a friend over a beer.
Thanks.

I I just laved listening to the reader.
There is a rhythm to this book filled with interesting stories none more than 500 words. I couldn't stop listening and laughing.

Not for easily triggered snowflakes
To paraphrase Stephen Colbert, reality tends to have a liberal bias. No wonder anti-truthers don’t like this book. But if you can handle reality and quite a bit of cursing, this book is a great read. It moves along at a great clip and held my attention throughout.

Juvenile
Could’ve been really interesting, but aims for the 10-13 year-old-just-learning-curse-words audience.
All the pointless F-bombs and the way-too-cool vernacular wear thin quickly and render the history lessons tedious.
File this under “R-rated YA.”

Okay
The content is entertaining enough but it's more about the author beating you over the head with his political beliefs than it is about interesting and cool historical facts, about 90% of which take place in the 20th century. I actually tend to agree with the author's political stance, but it's just way too much.
The voice performance is really bad. I lost track of how many things she blatantly mispronounces or times she misspoke and it wasn't rerecorded.

Excellent book and terrific narrator!
As an online reader of Mr. Fell's history lessons, I eagerly awaited the audio form of his book. When I first learned of the choice of a female narrator, I was somewhat skeptical. I just finished listening to the book, and I should not have been the least bit concerned. Kelli Tager gave an outstanding performance, reading in such a calm, soothing yet meaningfully emotional manner. The material in the book is both interesting and informational with big doses of humor and insight. Readers need to be aware, however, that the title of the book is a big clue to the style of the writer. He calls himself 'the sweary historian,' and as such, he does not shy away from using a colorful (and sometimes inventive) vocabulary in describing significant and sometimes little-known events in history. He also does not hold back on his opinions, both positive and negative, of the people and events he discusses. In my opinion, his style and commentary make history come alive. I highly recommend this book for those who don't feel the need to have history bleached to a colorless blur.

Lot of misinformation
Read the review titled Unfortunate. Great concept ruined by Mr Fells personal interpretation, which is hatred of capitalism, religion, armed conflict, and the United States. So save your money. His use of extreme profanity allows me to use one of his favorite quotes. Mr Fell I believe you also are a piece of S**T. Instead of spewing your hate of everything American, I could only hope you go back to your place of birth and do something positive for all of your indigenous peoples.

Could have been a good book
The premise of having a history book highlighting something interesting that happened on each day of the year throughout history is a good idea. The premise of doing it while adding in way over-the-top vulgarity is a bad idea especially when also incorporating far left editorial commentary throughout the book. Don’t waste your time or money on this one.

Unfortunate
The only thing I enjoyed was the narrator and those few historical moments that did not end up in the authors incessant over the top ideological leftest views. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
