This book is a combined edition of edition of three separately published books “Off the Edge of the Map Marco Polo, Captain Cook, and 9 Other Travelers and Explorers that Pushed the Boundaries of the Known World”; “Spies, Espionage, and Covert Operations From Ancient Greece to the Cold War”; and “History's Most Insane Rulers Lunatics, Eccentrics, and Megalomaniacs From Emperor Caligula to Kim Jong Il.”
Learn about the most interesting people who ever lived. Some were great explorers, such as Victorian statesman and adventurer Richard Francis Burton, who learned 29 languages, went undercover as a Muslim on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and wrote 50 books on topics ranging from a translation of the Kama Sutra to a manual on bayonet exercises.
Others were spies, such as Richard Sorge, the hard-drinking German spy for the Soviets whose interception of Axis military intelligence prevented the Russian army's collapse in World War II.
Yet others were simply crazy. Chief among these is Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim I, who practiced archery on palace servants and sending out his advisers to find the fattest woman in the empire for his wife. Others include Turkmenistan President Turkmenbashi renaming the days of the week after himself and constructing an 80-foot golden statue that revolves to face the sun,
These 31 people may not have made the world a better place, but they truly left behind and unforgettable legacy.
