Plot Summary: This new j-title was quite interesting and definitely a good choice for those who do NOT have weak stomachs. (The Introduction has a warning that states: If you don’t have the guts for gore, do not read this book.) The book works to dispel many of the myths about the deaths of famous people in history while supplying more likely reasons and/or a diagnosis where appropriate. This book contains quite a bit about the medical methods of earlier times which will lead you to believe that you are lucky to have access to modern medicine!
Subjects/Themes: Deaths, treatments of illnesses, famous historical people
