"A Shite History of Nearly Everything" is a riotously light-hearted look at world history, from the bestselling author of "Shite's Unoriginal Miscellany" and "Eats, Shites & Crap English and How to Use it." Eccentrically - indeed, irresponsibly - compiled, packed with bizarre ideas, hopeless theories, impossible dreams, preposterous statements, loony prophecies, mad scientists, demented technicians, useless inventions, and much of the often deranged history of our planet, A Shite History of Nearly Everything doesn't just challenge our view of the history of the world; it challenges our very sanity. Of Hungarian extraction, Antal Parody (originally Parodi) fled to Britain from either Buda or Pest -sources differ- in the late 1940s, following the collapse of the so-called "Mashed-Potato Revolution." Described as a genius by the UK trade magazine "Bookseller," he is the author of two previous bestsellers.
