Terrifyingly real...
This book takes you on a journey through the centuries to explore perpetrators of the most heinous crimes of all time. Eye-catching and terribly stunning as these notorious men and women are brought to life in vivid color through woodcarvings, mosaics, paintings and portrait photos. This book starts off every section with a photo of the subject including dates and a small biography.
But this book covers so much more as well. In it you will also find short introductions to things like the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the falls of empires & different conflicts, the Nuremberg trials, the American mafia and much, much more.
This is one of those books that you would not necessarily read through completely in one sitting but instead use it as a reference guide. The book is also equipped with a detailed table of contents in the front and an index in the back to make it easier for you to casually look subjects up as you please.
If you are a lover of history or simply tend to read more on the dark side, like myself, I would definitely recommend adding this book to your library. ( )
