Ask A Historian: 50 Surprising Answers to Things You Always Wanted to Know by Greg Jenner

5.0

A hilarious, brilliant and fascinating look at all the questions we always wanted to ask our history teachers but either felt it was too uncool to or would be rebuffed by an attitude of “I am the teacher I talk you listen” style of teaching.. I really wish Greg was my History teacher (don’t worry all my history teachers you gave me a love of history) it’s just that some of the information that were given to us then have now either been found out to be a colonial or empirical lie and sometimes one that has outlasted and outlived a lot of the actual facts. Honestly there are some questions which are just pure genius and the answers are comedic gold… the zombie apocalypse springs to mind (seriously you have to read this). I also love how you can dip in and out without feeling that you have to finish it now… it means you can read at your leisure.. be entertained and informed.
