Summary: The authors take on the most curious moments in history, answering the questions we didn't even think to ask. What was the most disastrous party in history? How did a hair appointment almost blow Churchill's cover? Why did the Nazis believe they were descended from the people of Atlantis? What made Alfred the Great so great? From a British political leader who allegedly plotted to feed his lover to alligators, to a Brazilian emperor whose subjects mistook him for a banana, there is nothing too big or too small for the authors to unpick.
