Overview

Only the trivia gurus at the Bathroom Readers’ Institute could take a dry subject like history and make it so much fun! Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader Plunges into History will open your eyes to ages past and entertain you for ages to come. Whether you’re a history buff, or you just like reading great stories, you’ll see the past in a whole new light after reading Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader Plunges into History. Uncle John uncovers the truth behind some of history’s most persistent myths, flushes out information you were never taught in school, and gives history fans something they can really digest. Since 1987, the Bathroom Readers’ Institute has led the movement to stand up for those who sit down and read in the bathroom (and everywhere else for that matter). With more than 12 million books in print, the Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader series is the longest-running, most popular series of its kind in the world.   Where else could you learn about the 10 most forgotten people in history, mistakes that led to great discoveries, and how a fish had a hand (er, fin) in beating Napoleon? Uncle John rules the world of information and humor, so get ready to be thoroughly entertained. Read all about…   * The short history of underwear * Odd deaths of famous figures * Abe Lincoln, fashion icon * The real Lady Godiva * Royal inbreeds and promiscuous popes * The true story of Braveheart * And much more!
