This radical reappraisal of human history will change the way you look at the past. In this expansive yet abridged volume, academic pariah and pseudo-historian Fin Taylor re-writes the human story, from the Big Bang to the Second Plane (minus all the boring stuff we can skip in between).

Interest in history is at an all time high, but what is it about the past that sets pulses racing? From Henry VIII to Hitler via Cromwell, Caligula and Colonel Gaddafi, this new thesis is a radical reappraisal of the human story.

Suffer no more the drudgery of 1066, the Italian Renaissance and the tales of Real Tudor Housewives. Marvel instead at epic naval battles, eccentric tyrants, unimaginable war crimes and extraordinarily heroic deeds. Because what is history if not entertainment for middle-aged men looking to escape modern domesticity in search of more exciting times.

Ground-breaking and entirely unsupervised, The History of Mankind in Its Entirety (Abridged) will teach you everything you need to know about the good old days – minus the boring stuff.
