English architect extraordinaire Inigo Jones believed firmly that the Romans built Stonehenge. His book on the subject is a glorious rollicking alt-history of barbarous Britons and useless Druids. Don't believe a word but enjoy the great writing. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇮🇹🍕🫖 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/nudiereads

In 1586 Mary Queen of Scots sent a secret letter about a plot against Queen Elizabeth of England, using what she thought was an uncrackable code. Not only was the code cracked, her letter was edited and led to the rounding up of all plotters and Mary's own head being lopped off. Not a smart lady. But a great writer. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👸🤫✍️👁 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/nudiereads

In 1944 Wild Bill Donovan of the US Office of Strategic Service produced a Simple Sabotage Field Manual for citizen saboteurs fighting against Axis powers. It's a short, punchy 78-year old perfectly worded 'how to'. Some of it might even sound familiar. 🇺🇸🪖⚠️⛔️ Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/nudiereads

He's been called 'notorious', 'murderous' and accused of writing 'with Satan's finger' but Niccolo Machiavelli's short book "The Prince" seems to be a fair study of human psychology and motivation. 509 years old and still making people squirm, it's a classic by every measure. 🇮🇹⚜️️✍️💪😱😡 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/nudiereads
