History is usually told with a straight face. This book isn't.
Inside, you'll meet rulers and empires at their most absurd: a maharaja who humiliated Rolls-Royce, a rooster put on trial and executed, a mystic who healed a prince by banning aspirin, and kings undone by their own quirks. Every story is real and unbelievably entertaining.
Blending rigorous research with sharp humor, this book reveals the side of history textbooks forgot: where power meets human nature... and hilariously falls apart.
