But every now and then, a new group succeeds in seizing power, changing the course of history. In his new book Disgusting, Terry Deere, the author of the best-selling “Shocking History” series, takes us on a funny and surprising journey through some of history's most important revolutions and uprisings, including:Ivailo, a Bulgarian pig herder who managed to repel the Mongols, kill the Tsar, and marry his widow within a year. Spartacus, who was more modest in his aims, wanted only to return home to see his mother. The two suffragettes who sent themselves through the Royal Mail to meet with the prime minister (a great idea, though Downing Street refused to fire). From peasants to slaves, from martyrs to rebels, Revolution celebrates the resilience and determination of those who have dared to challenge the status quo through the ages.
