The Badass books should be required reading in schools and colleges.

And this is how you get boys interested in history. Just sneak in some more exposition and root causes and bingo! That's a curriculum I'd sit through.

Iv'e had the honor of changing words with Ben himself. I hope I have lent good morale support for the new book and more?

[LivingCrusader]

I have both the books. Hope more come. This is how History classes should be.

@f1775 Your's is the effete response. Mr. Thompson is relating to us history of real people, not the fantasies of a decadent civilization.

History as art. Good art. Keep on creating. Charged me full.

No offense to the Amazing Ben Thompson but this narration definitely needs to be narrated by a wild maned Scandanavian Death Metal Vocalist that headbangs/windmills at every paragraph break with enough force to create an artificial gravity well inside his head while a string snapping, bitchin guitar solo is played constantly in the background by Herman Lee and/or another guitarist with epileptic AIMbot fingers.

Now that's what I call education...
