An addictive compendium of 50 little-known historic tales that are "seemingly too-good-to-be-true [with] plenty of fabulously dramatic adventures" (Publishers Weekly).
When Hitler Took Cocaine and Lenin Lost His Brain is the first installment in Giles Milton's outrageously entertaining series, History's Unknown Chapters: colorful and accessible, intelligent and illuminating stories from the past that you probably never knew about.
Covering everything from adventure and espionage to war and murder, this volume reveals the stories of the female Robinson Crusoe, Hitler's final hours, Japan's deadly balloon bomb, and the emperor of the United States.
There's also the cook aboard the Titanic who survived the icy seas by pickling himself with whiskey. And the man who survived the atomic bomb in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Along with many, many more.
