About History's Trainwrecks
A temper tantrum that changed history. The World War II general who lost his pants on a secret mission in enemy territory. The ancient Roman who lectured a mob of rioting women about their wardrobe choices and somehow lived to tell about it. The American President who promised not to run again and regretted it for the rest of his life. This is the stuff they never taught us in history class. Check out the History’s Trainwrecks website, Facebook Page, and subscribe to their podcast on Itunes, Spotify, or your favorite podcatcher for more stories like these!
