For a really fun read as well as educational... even for people who are not history buffs, this is a fabulous book: MORE OF HISTORY'S WORST. It has two sections on Trump, hence the subtitle, 2000 Years of Idiocy from Nero to Trump.
I loved working on this book, designing the cover, formatting the interior... the works. Adam Powell teaches history to people on Zoom these days during the Covid-19 virus outbreak to students in several countries.
As this book covers history from so many time periods and so many parts of the world, I anticipate there will be world-wide appeal!
