How George Washington Fleeced the Nation: And Other Little Secrets Airbrushed From History

3.4/5 ( ratings)

Our view of the famous is one-dimensional&mdash;leading figures from history are
summarized in history textbooks with one or two lines: Churchill the war-time
genius, Gandhi the poor ascetic&mdash;but nobody is perfect and even the famous
have their quirks and hidden secrets. How George Washington Fleeced the Nation
reveals the often hilarious, sometimes shocking, and always highly informative
foibles of the great and the good. Einstein, the most brilliant man who lived,
regularly forgot his shoes and never learned to drive. Hitler possibly has a Jewish
ancestor. Picasso avoided paying restaurant bills by doodling on their napkins
instead. Prepared to be shocked, amused, and outraged at what they didn&rsquo;t teach
you in high school.

Language: English

Pages: 272
