Welcome to another round of history's most absurd stories and the
timeless lessons that come with them. In More Lessons from History,
Alex Deane has unearthed yet more bizarre tales that you certainly
haven't heard before. If you're wondering how large, flightless
birds might organise themselves against a military regiment, how
you should respond to the glare of an international rugby player
whose glass eye you just knocked out, exactly why carrots are
orange, or whether the world's worst-run battleship ever ceased
firing upon her comrades-in-arms, then look no further. In this
second volume of his acclaimed series, Alex Deane reminds us that,
throughout history, human nature has remained exactly the same, and
the way that people responded to the most amusing, horrifying and
convoluted of circumstances in the past can teach us everything we
need to know about who we are today.
