Welcome to another installment of history's most ludicrous tales, accompanied by the enduring lessons they impart. In his latest work, More Lessons from History, Alex Deane has uncovered yet more extraordinary anecdotes that are unlikely to have crossed your path. If you find yourself pondering the logistics of how large, flightless birds might coordinate their efforts against a military regiment, the appropriate response to the glare of an international rugby player whose glass eye you recently dislodged, the precise reason why carrots assume their orange hue, or whether the world's most inept battleship ever ceased its relentless barrage against its fellow comrades-in-arms, your search ends here. In this captivating second volume of his highly acclaimed series, Alex Deane serves as a poignant reminder that throughout the annals of history, human nature has remained remarkably consistent, and the manner in which individuals responded to the most amusing, horrifying, and intricate of circumstances in the past holds the key to unraveling the essence of who we are today.
