Description
Obscure and addictive true tales from history told by one of our most entertaining historians, Giles Milton
The first installment in Giles Miltons outrageously entertaining series, Historys Unknown Chapters: colorful and accessible, intelligent and illuminating, Milton shows his customary historical flair as he delves into the little-known stories from the past.
Theres the cook aboard the Titanic, who pickled himself with whiskey and survived in the icy seas where most everyone else died. Theres the man who survived the atomic bomb in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And theres many, many more.
Covering everything from adventure, war, murder and slavery to espionage, including the stories of the female Robinson Crusoe, Hitlers final hours, Japans deadly balloon bomb and the emperor of the United States, these tales deserve to be told.
