Badass

<p>The badasses populating the pages of <em>Badass </em>are the most savagely awesome historical figures to ever strap on a pair of chain mail gauntlets and run screaming into battle. Author Ben Thompson--considered by many to be the Internet's foremost expert on badassitude--has gathered together a rogues' gallery of butt-stomping rogues from Julius Caesar and Genghis Khan to Blackbeard George S. Patton and Bruce Lee. Their bone-breaking exploits are illustrated by top artist from the fields of gaming comics and cards--DC Comics illustrator Matt Haley and Thomas Denmark illustrator for the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering. This is not your boring high school history--this is tough manly unrelentingly <em>Badass!</em><p></p></p>
