Strange facts and bizarre anecdotes from centuries of armed conflict fought with everything from machetes to machine guns.

  • Commanders—the good, the bad, and the lucky
  • Defeats snatched from the jaws of victory
  • The real reason American paratroopers bellowed “Geronimo!” when jumping out of their transport planes
  • What—aside from German bombs—caused some of the more unlucky casualties of the London Blitz
  • The shortest war in history—which lasted exactly 38 minutes
  • and much more
