Don't Know Much About History
When "Don't Know Much About History" first appeared in 1990, it was simply meant to serve as a fresh new take on American history. Busting myths with a dose of humor and real stories about real people, the book was conceived as an antidote to the dull, dreary textbooks we suffered through in high school or college.

With the same question-and-answer style, this updated, revised, and greatly expanded edition brings history right up to Bill Clinton's impeachment and the bizarre 2000 election. Incorporating new discoveries, revelations, and theories about America's past, this revised edition elaborates on such long-standing American controversies as the
Jefferson-Hemings affair, the Hiss and Rosenberg cases, and the Iran-Contra adventure.

For history buffs and history-phobes, longtime fans and a new generation still in the dark about America's past, this book provides "Everything You Need to Know About American History". And more!

Sex with the Queen
900 Years of Vile Kings, Virile Lovers, and Passionate Politics
Impeccably researched, filled with page-turning romance, passion, and scandal, Sex with the Queen explores the scintillating sexual lives of some of our most beloved and infamous female rulers.

When a queen became sick to death of her husband and took a lover, anything could happen, from disgrace and death to political victory. Some kings imprisoned erring wives for life; other monarchs obligingly named the queen's lover prime minister.

The crucial factor deciding the fate of an unfaithful queen was the love affair's implications in terms of power, money, and factional rivalry. At European courts, it was the politics, not the sex, that caused a royal woman's tragedy, or her ultimate triumph.
