Consider: • The Pilgrims landed in Plymouth because they ran out of beer. • Annie Oakley almost shot Kaiser Wilhelm before WWI. • Three cigars changed the course of the Civil War. • The stethoscope was invented when a modest French doctor didn’t want to put his ear to the lavish bosom of a female patient. • An Italian priest perfected the first practical fax machine in 1863. • Teddy Roosevelt is the father of football’s forward pass. • And believe it or not, actress Hedy Lamar not only appeared in the movies’ first nude scene, but later patented an idea that formed the basis for cell phone encryption. As Dave Barry would say, you can’t make this stuff up. Inspired by the History Channel series Timelab 2000®, The Greatest Stories Never Told features the most startling stories ever plucked from the pages of history. The stories are accompanied by more than 400 illustrations gathered from libraries, archives and private collections the world over. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #163,688 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #72 in History Encyclopedias #83 in Historical Study Reference (Books) #124 in Historical Study & Teaching | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 515 Reviews | ## Images ![The Greatest Stories Never Told: 100 Tales from History to Astonish, Bewilder, and Stupefy – Startling and Unexpected Illustrated Moments Presented by The History Channel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1ePmiO1BUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***D on January 23, 2004* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***B on November 7, 2022* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***Y on April 9, 2013* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1273701-the-greatest-stories-never-told-100-tales-from-history-to](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1273701-the-greatest-stories-never-told-100-tales-from-history-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
