I have to admit I am not a "review writer". Ever. Yet this book deserves all the gold stars Amazon has to offer. It is hilariously written and educational at the same time. Who could pass up such fun and wit? It made for a perfect gift.The recipient and I have talked about its contents for a couple of weeks now, laughing our asses off, while comparing the tales to our current mood or situation. The Captain is a gifted storyteller.
So that's my review. Buy this book for yourself or for a pal or your coffee table. It's totally worth it. It will make you smile and a little bit smarter.

This is book is worth the read. You laugh, you relate and you learn. The Captain is great at combining modern day scenarios with history. Several people in my office read bits and pieces of this book while it was on my desk and decided to order it for themselves. It now lives on my coffee table and when friends come over, they all end up with a quick history lesson because they cannot resist picking it up to see what it is about. Who knew Egyptians loved their cats so much????

Read these short stories to my husband on the way to a cabin we were meeting friends at for new years. We laughed out loud and enjoyed them immensely. I got him the book for Christmas because he loves history but I know he hates reading so this worked out well :)

The Captain's witty brain and filthy mind bring us this incredibly smart collection of applicable life lessons based on actual history. These historically accurate teachable moments are smothered in a deliciously ingenious originality. It's the perfect gift or a nice rainy day read, maybe even a snuggle by the fire and read aloud kinda book, and guaranteed to make you laugh.

If you're looking for a modern twist on history, look no further. The Captain does an excellent job explaining current themes, such as "ghosting", with refreshing historical references. Personally I've never been a huge fan of reading about history, it tends to be quite boring, but The Captain's realistic tone keeps your attention so well that you won't want to put this book down.

The Captain's impressive intelligence and compassionate nature show through in his history lessons. You'll laugh. You'll be awed by the amazing historical facts. And you'll learn tough life lessons all at once. I can't wait for his next book. (Start typing, Captain....haha) Don't forget to order multiple copies because you'll want all your friends and family to read it.

I love these stories and his perspective on them. This book is hard to put down. Adds humor, common sense, and love advice to (some strange) historical events. You won't be disappointed.
