Killer History: Why do they leave all the fun stuff out of the history books? by Marek McKenna
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
All-too-quick historical trivia in a Kindle edition absent the book's images, needed editing and littered with random hyperlinks made this an underwhelming read. The author is abviously a history fanatic with a lot of knowledge to share, but the delivery was lacking.
Did you know the Wright Brothers weren't actually the first to make a powered flight? That they weren't even second? That was one of the best of the breathless, hurried vignettes.
