Assassin's Quest

Author

The Trial of Colonel Sweeto and Other Stories

Author	Nicholas Gurewitch
ISBN	1593078447

There's a theory about the instigation of the French Revolution -- and I'm not saying I ascribe to it, but I certainly am enamored of it -- that there was so little knowledge of food science that wheat and other grains were stored without regard for safety or preservation. So much of the grain used for baking...

Final Cut: Art, Money, and Ego in the Making of Heaven's Gate, the Film That Sank United Artists

Author	Steven Bach
ISBN	1557043744

Heaven's Gate is probably the most discussed, least seen film in modern movie history. Its notoriety is so great that its title has become a generic term for disaster, for ego run rampant, for epic mismanagement, for wanton extravagance. It was also the film that brought down one of Hollywood’s major...

Royalty's Strangest Characters: Extraordinary But True Tales from 2,000 Years of Mad Monarchs and Raving Rulers (Strangest series)

Author	Geoff Tibballs
ISBN	1861058276

A quick, interesting read.

Not for those interested in truly learning history, as no references are given. This book reads almost like a tabloid newspaper. Interesting and fun, but not reliable in the least.

Also frustrating were some of the unnecessary comments the author added...

Star
