Bringing historical events to life with its laugh-out-loud stories and striking illustrations, 'Badass' chronicles the asskicking age of antiquity to the fearless modern era in chapters that include the stories of: Ramses II — the greatest of the Egyptian Pharaohs, who once said look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair; Alexander the Great — Macedonian King who conquered the entire known world before his 33rd birthday; Blackbeard — the most feared cutthroat to ever sail the Caribbean; and, Bhanbhagta Gurung — Gurkha soldier who cleared out six enemy positions with grenades, a knife, and a healthy disregard for his own safety. From Julius Caesar and Genghis Khan to Bruce Lee and George S. Patton, this relentless onslaught of badassitude is the perfect addition to the canon of manliness that includes 'The Truth About Chuck Norris' and 'The Alphabet of Manliness'.
