Our view of the famous is one-dimensional—leading figures from history aresummarized in history textbooks with one or two lines: Churchill the war-timegenius, Gandhi the poor ascetic—but nobody is perfect and even the famoushave their quirks and hidden secrets. How George Washington Fleeced the Nationreveals the often hilarious, sometimes shocking, and always highly informativefoibles of the great and the good. Einstein, the most brilliant man who lived,regularly forgot his shoes and never learned to drive. Hitler possibly has a Jewishancestor. Picasso avoided paying restaurant bills by doodling on their napkinsinstead. Prepared to be shocked, amused, and outraged at what they didn’t teachyou in high school.
