When Churchill Slaughtered Sheep and Stalin Robbed a Bank: History's Unknown Chapters | Giles Milton

pick

Little known facts from different periods in history, but most of them are related to the WW II. Some of them are more on the trivia side, even funny, and some of them are really horrifying. Very readable collection, recommend to the lovers of oddities from history.

When Churchill Slaughtered Sheep: Fascinating Footnotes from History | Giles Milton

What a glorious way to start the new working day❣️This pile is everything I need - four, yes four books (I applied for two, but I don‘t complain at all😚), chocolate, teas in a very fancy packaging, abundance of cards with quotes (I‘ll have to change the wall decoration, again 😘), each book with very neat handwritten library index card and fabulous bookmark. The selected books are exactly what I would choose for myself, and each of them is ...👇
