History

Readers will discover 101 bastards in this one-of-a-kind account of bad guys in Washington. This page-turner of a potboiler reveals all the dirtiest little secrets readers never learned in history class. From illegitimate children (we thought Grover Cleveland was too boring to have sex) and illicit trysts (Warren G. Harding in the White House phone booth with his secretary) to turncoats (Benedict Arnold's got nothing on Silas Deane) and traitors (General Wilkinson, aka a Spanish secret agent), readers discover all the dirt worth dishing since the founding of Jamestown. "The Book of Bastards" - because what readers don't know about the history of America can make them laugh - and cry!
