History class missed out the good bits. Filthy History is the gift book that digs up the facts that were far too rude, strange, or awkward to make it into the curriculum. Packed with 96 pages of taboo tales, eyebrow raising beliefs, and moments that make you question humanity, this is history as you have never been taught it. From Ancient Egyptians and their wildly creative origin stories, to Rasputin and the legend that followed him long after his death, this book gathers the most outrageous moments from the past and presents them in one gloriously inappropriate collection. These are the details historians quietly skip over, the footnotes that never made it into textbooks, and the stories that instantly make history feel a lot more human. Written for curious minds and lovers of the ridiculous, Filthy History sits comfortably between history books for adults and laugh out loud reads. It is informative without being dry, shocking without trying too hard, and perfect for dipping in and out of when you fancy learning something you definitely cannot repeat at the dinner table. If you are shopping for funny books for men, novelty gifts for men, or something memorable for a birthday or Christmas, this one delivers. Ideal as men’s stocking filler present, a mischievous gift for a partner, or a treat for yourself if you enjoy the messier side of the past. History may be written by the victors, but Filthy History tells the truth they left out.
