Book of The Month: “Bad Days in History" by Michael Farquhar

Editor’s note:  You’ll need a strong stomach if you choose to read this since many of the bad days described are matters of barbarism, particularly those from earlier centuries.  But for me, it was still a great book since I picked it up from time to time just for something different.  The most I could read was one month.  Farquhar’s funny/punny headlines add to interesting, if sordid, historical facts.

Excerpt:
