366: More Great Stories from History for Every Day of the Year

Strange sometimes to think, even the biggest events of world history happened on a particular day: a sweltering February 25th, a rainy July 2nd, your father’s birthday.

W. B. Marsh and Bruce Carrick present a leap year of historical stories in turn amazing, horrifying, touching and tearful. Spanning the history of man’s life on earth and every corner of the inhabited world, they paint a picture of infinite richness and minute, enthralling detail. Read about the first-ever tanks going into combat on the Somme, Pushkin’s death in a duel, Nietzsche’s dramatic breakdown in Turin, Jesse Owens humiliating the Nazis at the Olympic Games and much, much more. The ideal book for any history junkie.
