Book
Did you know that Hitler took cocaine? That Stalin robbed a bank? That Charlie Chaplin's corpse was filched and held to ransom? Giles Milton is a master of historical narrative: in his characteristically engaging prose, this book details 100 of the quirkiest historical nuggets; eye-stretching stories that read like fiction but are 100% fact.
