F*cking History

111 Lessons You Should Have Learned in School

History that doesn't suck: Smart, crude, and hilariously relevant to modern life.

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Too bad it's usually boring as sh*t. Enter The Captain, the ultimate storyteller who brings history to life (and to your life) in this hilarious, intelligent, brutally honest, and crude compendium to events that happened before any of us were born.

The entries in this compulsively listenable book bridge past and present with topics like getting ghosted, handling haters, and why dog owners rule (sorry, cat people). Along the way you'll get a glimpse of Edith Wharton's sex life, dating rituals in Ancient Greece, catfishing in 500 BC, medieval flirting techniques, and squad goals from Catherine the Great.

You'll learn why losing yourself in a relationship will make you crazy - like Joanna of Castile, who went from accomplished badass to Joanna the Mad after obsessing over a guy known as Philip the Handsome. You'll discover how Resting Bitch Face has been embraced throughout history (so wear it proudly). And you'll see why it's never a good idea to f*ck with powerful women - from pirate queens to diehard suffragettes to Cleo-f*cking-patra.

People in the past were just like us - so learn from life's losers and emulate the badasses. The Captain shows you how.

The Captain Makes History Fun!

I bought this first for my husband on Kindle while it was on sale. He enjoyed it so much that I turned around and bought it on Audible for myself. The Captain not only teaches history that most history books don't but he does it in a way to make it relevant to today and with a great sense of humor. As history buffs, we both found his book hysterical and informative. Well worth the listen or read!

A most unusual history book…

A most unusual history book….Snippets of history drowned with more curse words than I have every encountered in one book….and garnished with the humor of a profane 12 year boy just starting puberty….however still somewhat interesting.

Funny but way way too many 4 letter words.

Making me spend my time when the review is taking up too much of my time.

I love this book!

The Captain is fun and the book was great! I actually learned quite a bit. Thanks Captain I hope you write another.

Best shit ever.

This book had me laughing, thinking about life and saying WTF the whole way through. I absolutely LOVED it Must read or listen to.

F*ucking hilarious and real.

Nacho King. I had to stop there for today. My sides hurt from laughing at The Captain’s blend of history, humor, and thought provoking look at life. He blends it in a way that is down to earth and thoroughly enjoyable.

I liked it

A really cool and informative listen, mixed with the proper amount of humor to make it very enjoyable.

F*cking Awesome

Loved it. Educational, uplifting, and inspiring. Thank you for sharing the brilliance.

Probably a better read

The stories are great, and the underlying message is something we should all get behind. However, it was delivered like a bad Best Mans speech, with (pause for laughter) written into the notes. I would purchase the hard copy though.

Because History should be fun!

I thoroughly enjoyed the humor throughout while learning strange facts that I can now share at inappropriate moments with friends and family. Thanks Captain!
