Politics Weird-o-Pedia: The Ultimate Book of Surprising, Strange, and Incredibly Bizarre Facts about Politics

Government and politics might seem twisted today, but theyâ€™ve always been strange.

Thereâ€™s something about public office that, throughout time, has transcended normalcy. Politics Weird-o-Pedia presents some of the oddest and most interesting political absurdities and tidbits from around the world, from Peter the Greatâ€™s tax on beards to a lawmakerâ€™s mistress whom he kept on the congressional payroll despite her admission that â€œI can't type, I can't file, I can't even answer the phone.â€

Eminences include:
Some of Americaâ€™s Founding Fathers wanted to jail newspaper reporters.
A Mongolian conqueror liked to build cement walls out of the bodies of his vanquished opponents (while they were still alive).
An all-female resistance to nuclear missiles in Britain resulted in a protest that lasted for nineteen yearsâ€”long after the missiles were gone.

Politics Weird-o-Pedia doesnâ€™t stand still for a minute. It is intriguing, funny, and occasionally startling. It is more than a collection of trivia, adding bits of context and historical vignettes that make it clear that no matter how dysfunctional politics and government might seem todayâ€”weâ€™ve been through it all many times before.
