Oh, to be sure, Karl Rove is one of the 101 bastards readers will find in this one of a kind account of bad guys in Washington. But compared to some of the gross misconduct in this frighteningly funny history book, well, let?s just say he?s in good company. The page turner of a potboiler reveals all the dirtiest little secrets readers never learned in history class. From illegitimate children (we thought Grover Cleveland was too boring to have sex) and illicit trysts (Warren G. Harding in the White House phone booth with his secretary) to turncoats (Benedict Arnold?s got nothing on Silas Deane) and traitors (General Wilkinson, aka a Spanish secret agent), readers discover all the dirt worth dishing since the founding of Jamestown. The Book of Bastards ? because what readers don?t know about the history of our great nation can make them laugh ? and cry! AUTHOR: Brian Thornton earned his BA in history from Gonzaga University and both his BAE (English) and MA (history) from Eastern Washington University.
