This ain't no table tennis. You're not here to skip
rope with your niece. You're here to witness the
catastrophically awesome exploits of history's greatest
badasses. Not only that, you're here to see what happens
when badasses collide, when glory and doom hang in the
balance, when two men enter one man leave. If you dare
listen, you'll hear the stories of Cyrus the Great, who
forges the Persian empire with blood, steel, and a few
thousand rampaging camels. St. Moses the Black, the
Patron Saint of Asskickings, who teaches bandit thugs a
lesson in turning the other cheek. The War of Aracau,
when the Spanish invaders sawed off the hands of a
Mapuche warrior, the Mapuche Warrior strapped blades to
his arms and lead the only successful resistance in all
of South America. The Rani of Jhansi, oppressed by the
British, one Indian warrior-princess rises in revolt,
taking on the British crown with a sword in each hand
and her baby strapped to her back. The Charge of the
Australian Light Horse, when 800 horsemen armed with
bayonets embark on the last great cavalry charge in
history, rushing toward trenches filled with machine
guns, rifles, and huge bullets! Tango Mike-Mike, one
lone Green Beret's attempt to single-handedly rescue an
entire Special Forces squad from a pinned-down position
deep behind enemy lines in Cambodia. Told in Ben
Thompson's hilariously over-the-top prose and
accompanied with forty pieces of eye-popping, original
artwork, these stories will thrill and inspire readers
to grind their enemies into the dust. When there can be
only one Badass, it's an "Ultimate Deathmatch".
