When Hitler Took Cocaine and Lenin Lost His Brain: History's Unknown Chapters by Giles Milton
3.0
I have enjoyed Giles Milton's work before and was looking forward to learning new things.
Now truth be told I am a student of history, world history to be precise, and there wasn't much in this book that I had not heard of before and sometimes in greater detail. So if you are a student of history this will not tell you things that you don't already know.
If you did not pay attention in history class, then this might come as news to you so go ahead and get this.
Regardless, it was well written and even witty at times.
It was a fast and entertaining read even if wasn't new to me
