Badass: A Relentless Onslaught of the Toughest Warlords, Vikings, Samurai, Pirates, Gunfighters, and Military Commanders to Ever Live by Ben ThompsonMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Narrated with gusto by L. J. Ganser, this locker room talk about the highlights of civilization featuring warriors and their ilk briskly told with lots of "nut sack" swinging. The adolescent humor is worth a chuckle in the beginning, but quickly grows wearisome. Despite an overt lack of political correctness, this work seems to try hard to bring in a variety of civilizations including those in Africa and Asia and women like the Night Witches (a World War II German nickname for the female military aviators of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment) and even other species, such as the shell-toting bear Wojtek.
