Ten of the Liveliest Disputes Ever
In this spicy follow-up to the successful 'Great Feuds in Science' and 'Great Feuds in Medicine', author Colin Evans offers blow-by-blow accounts of ten of the nastiest and most consequential feuds in history.
From Elizabeth I's lengthy spat with royal pain Mary, Queen of Scots, to Aaron Burr's bloody battle with Alexander Hamilton, to Stalin and Trotsky's ferocious, intercontinental set-to, this title details the historical context as well as the dramatic human stories behind these struggles.
This book presents both famous disputes, such as the storied backwoods war waged by the Hatfields and McCoys, and lesser-known cases, such as the equally monumental feud between Generals Montgomery and Patton.
