ASSHOLES: THE DEAD PEOPLE YOU SHOULD BE MAD AT

James Felton unveils, in his inimitable way, the slyest, creepiest and/or nastiest specimens of humanity who've ever lived. Enter the 16th Century Chinese Emperor Zhegende, whose harem was so big some of the women died of starvation; King Charles II's executioner, who would only give you a clean beheading if you paid properly for it; and llya Ivanovich, the 19th Century scientist who was a mega-asshole (but we can’t tell you why here. Get the book.) Darkly funny, highly informative and always unbelievable, this book introduces you to the deservedly dead.
