Book Synopsis: Dramatic True Tales of Thomas Edison, Catherine the Great, Boss Tweed, Queen Elizabeth I, and More
What do Mother Theresa, Honest Abe, and Mahatma Gandhi have in common? They’re all too upstanding to be included in Thrilling Thieves: Liars, Cheats, and Cons who Changed History.

Turns out our world owes a lot to those who dabble on the dark side. If you’re not scared of crooks, cons, and criminals, take a peek at this new side of history.
