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 listenable 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.

Title: Great book - for adults with full adult vocabularies
Review: Received this book, and it's great. I love it.With that said, it's not for people who find adult language offensive. I would like to think the title is a good hint.But for those of us with full mature adult vocabularies, it's a great book. Interesting topics, well presented, and really entertaining. As a bonus, you'll probably learn something. Or a bunch of somethings.Great book.

Title: Awesome history lessons
Review: The Capt is correct; I didn't learn about any of these in school. I even excelled in History! Cool little back stories to things you never give much thought about. The Captain has an ability when writing that makes you feel like you're right across the booth from him, or sitting around a firepit, listening to him. He draws you in, gives you life lessons and you don't even realize it. He is a true storyteller. This book is a great read - take along on vacay, to the beach, under a huge maple tree, and read.

Title: Great quirky book
Review: This is a great lil quirky history book. Perfect gift for someone who appreciates life off the beaten path. As the title suggests, if you are easily offended by language or have no sense of sarcasm, this book is probably not for you.

Review: I always loved the writings of âThe Captainâ on Instagram and just recently found out he was writing books! Each story is amazing. They are thought provoking, hilarious and I am learning something. We. I absolutely love it! Plus I love how each story is short which is perfect since I have a short attention span!

Review: The best *you-know-the-word* book. I love it.... That's what history is really about and how we should learn from it. Take a seat in your Armchair. Open up an old scottisk whiskey. Light up A cuban cigar and read it. Perfect evening....
