Short little tidbits that showed how often history is told by the winner. Interesting read. I'd recommend it to others who like to have lots of semi-useless knowledge.

Very short, quick read. Something you'd probably find in a waiting room to be honest.
It had some interesting stories, a few of which I'll probably look more into but for the most part you're not missing much.

A fascinating read about all these 'who would've thunkit' stories in history. Enjoyed the random facts. :)

Interesting little stories about how the smallest incident can change the course of history. Quick read.

Can't lie, after reading this, I have nothing but respect for Ibn Battuta and the man who practically started and ended the Revolutionary War in his living room. I mean, this book was what got me into World History.

This is a quick, fun book to read. Lots of little trivia bits and pieces as well.

This book did what it set out to do, and with a good bit of humor.

This is in essence a trivia book, but the title doesn't lie -- good stories that I've mostly never heard. Good material for movies in here!

Do not recommend. While there were some interesting stories in there, it was not written well.
