American Evil: True Tales of Mischief and Mayhem - Paul Martin

Heroes receive all the accolades, but Paul Martin says that history's villains were much more fun to write about. In his new book, Villains, Scoundrels and Rogues: Incredible True Tales of Mischief and Mayhem he describes baddies of all stripes. Martin shares the story of "Axis Sally," an American whose quest for fame had her joining the Nazi propaganda machine in World War II; a wealthy miser who lamed her own son an attempt to avoid hospital fees; and a bumbling counterfeiter who misspelled "Washington," on his one-dollar duplicates.
