Badass
A Relentless Onslaught of the Toughest Warlords, Vikings, Samurai, Pirates, Gunfighters, and Military Commanders to Ever Live
Paperback
By Ben Thompson
HarperCollins
2009

So rare is it that a book grabs my attention, and bitch slaps me while still in the bookstore. Such was the case with Badass by Ben Thompson. True to its name Badass is a relentless onslaught of the toughest Warlords, Vikings, Samurai, Pirates, Gunfighters, and Military Commanders to ever live.

At first I thought there was no way in the name of Zeus’ Thundering ass that a book could contain so much “BadassITUDE”! Man was I wrong. Badass grabs you, punches you in the face, and makes you feel as if you should be in the kitchen making IT a sandwich.

From the moment I opened this book I was bombarded by quotes from memorable Badass’s throughout history. As I continued on, I was met with “The Bone-Crushing Principles of Complete and Utter Badassitude”! This small, 5-step program, will guide you through the 321 pages of ass-kicking, without feeling the need to pull over and ask directions.
