No one ever accused Mark Twain of being a shrinking violet. Here is Twain as you've never read him before. Written as content for his autobiography, this is only some of the material the editor left out. After personal and business setbacks, this is an angrier, sometimes bitter, but still very funny Twain. Mark skewers Teddy Roosevelt, former business partners, various literary people, and recalls his meeting with Winston Churchill. He tell the tale of selling a dog that he didn't own to a general that he didn't know. And, relevant to today, he takes on the American plutocracy. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
