Quite often the most intriguing (and most bizarre) bits are forgotten and fall away into obscurity.

Spanning the breadth of human history, this light-hearted and easy-to-read book is full to bursting with the bits from history that even a history enthusiast may otherwise have never known.Covering a wide variety of topics, from the time a Pope put his dead predecessor on trial to the awkward moment when the US Air Force accidentally dropped nuclear bombs on Spain, Forgotten History provides a journey through time to discover the weird and wonderful history that you didn't learn about in school.
