This volume contains stories that continue to relate the author's experiences, impressions, and thoughts begun in Psychograms of Sickness and Death: A Partial Autobiography.
Published both by major U.S. houses as well as independently by the author, this book has been reissued at least every ten years since its initial appearance in 1976 by Jonathan David Publishers, Middle Village, NY. Its success has been remarkable, so much so, in fact, that schools and libraries have repeatedly had to reorder after their copies were stolen by patrons, students, and teachers! It continues to seem relevant to readers during all those years because society and government are always saddled with the same types depicted in this book. Teachers have frequently used this book as a supplementary text in history courses. The text is fast-moving, at times conversational, and never packed with dry dates and treaties and other aspects of history books that often turn off young readers. This is the first appearance of Madmen of History as an ebook, and the second ebook by the author. Read it chapter by chapter--there is no absolute order required--but avoid reading it at bedtime because you may not sleep well!
