Obscure and addictive true tales from history told by one of our most entertaining historians, Giles Milton

The first installment in Giles Milton''s outrageously entertaining series, History''s Unknown Chapters: colorful and accessible, intelligent and illuminating, Milton shows his customary historical flair as he delves into the little-known stories from the past.

There''s the cook aboard the Titanic, who pickled himself with whiskey and survived in the icy seas where most everyone else diedThere''s the man who survived the atomic bomb in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And there''s many, many more.
