THEY TWEETED WHAAAATTT? History’s most famous personalities share their ridiculous, scandalous, and humorous thoughts.
From the ancient tweets of @Plato and @Cleopatra to modern updates from @Gandhi, @Hitler, and @Elvis, Historical Tweets has all the answers to history’s biggest questions: What happened to the dragons? What does “four score” mean? WWJT? For those who can handle only 140 characters’ worth of history at a time (and don’t mind breaking their history teachers’ hearts), this is the perfect book.
'This top title is a laugh a second and guaranteed to spice up your travels with a little comedy. If you're a fan of Twitter and fancy something that'll make you titter, pick up a copy of Historical Tweets by Alan Beard & Alec McNayr. The comedy stylings of some of the finest brains in the Twitterverse' can be found within these pages.'
