Customer Reviews

A nice collection of the "Lasts" of History

Wow! That last reviewer must have woke up on the wrong side of the alley! Using a clever format, "History's Last Stand" takes up a couple hundred of History's grand finales. Anecdotes -- both serious and irreverent -- include such events as Marie Antoinette on the way to the guillotine, Abraham Lincoln's assassination, General 'Chinese' Gordon's fall at Khartoum, and D.B. Cooper's jump from a Boeing 727. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.Wayne GralianWayne's World of Books / Krakow RPGs
