BADASS - Ben Thompson

BADASS - A relentless onslaught of the toughest warlords, vikings, samurai, pirates, gunfighters, and military commanders to ever live!

Here is a funny non-fiction book about BADASSES!  It is hilarious and strange.  Strange in that the writer uses unusually opinionated adjectives such as "urine inducing" (read menacing), "asshat" (read unpleasant fellow), and of course our current favorite from the section on Anne Bonny:

"Calico Jack was more renowned for his flamboyant wardrobe and inherant personal charm than he was for his tireless sword arm and his ability to turn British merchentmen into giant flaming infernos, but Anne seized the opportunity to set sail for awesomeness." 

It is not your traditional "Heroes of the World" type read from the non-fiction shelf, this book is just flat out full of badasses, hence the title.  Lots of comic-type illustrations and the like. Check it out! (Bought it thinking of you and your story Dave...)
