Synopsis

History that doesn't suck: Smart, crude, and hilariously relevant to modern life.

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Too bad it's usually boring as sh*t. Enter The Captain, the ultimate storyteller who brings history to life (and to your life) in this hilarious, intelligent, brutally honest, and crude compendium to events that happened before any of us were born.

The entries in this compulsively readable book bridge past and present with topics like getting ghosted, handling haters, and why dog owners rule (sorry, cat people). Along the way you'll get a glimpse of Edith Wharton's sex life, dating rituals in Ancient Greece, catfishing in 500 BC, medieval flirting techniques, and squad goals from Catherine the Great.

You'll learn why losing yourself in a relationship will make you crazy--like Joanna of Castile, who went from accomplished badass to Joanna the Mad after obsessing over a guy known as Philip the Handsome. You'll discover how Resting Bitch Face has been embraced throughout history (so wear it proudly). And you'll see why it's never a good idea to f*ck with powerful women--from pirate queens to diehard suffragettes to Cleo-f*cking-patra.

People in the past were just like us--so learn from life's losers and emulate the badasses. The Captain shows you how.

Reviews

Interesting Historical Stories but the way the author tried to make it relatable to modern day things like social media sex and relationships was super annoying... and seemed condescending and borderline rude at times.......more

Goodreads review by Marika

I was sent this finished copy by Tarcher Perigee for an honest review. This was entertaining, but mostly irritating. I never gravitate towards books that claim you didn’t learn X amount in school/your life/etc because...a lot of the time I have to be honest! This book did have some historical facts......more

Goodreads review by Raluca

Funny & witty (with a feminist twist)......more
