They're all too good for this book, that's what. Sure, you'll find some familiar faces like Queen Elizabeth I and Thomas Edison in here, but you'll learn that behind their angelic smiles were cunning con artists who stole their way to gold and greatness. Follow the trail of twelve troublemakers to learn what really made the Mona Lisa the most iconic painting in the world, meet the most powerful pirate from history (it's probably not who you're expecting), and watch empires rise and fall with the theft of a simple tea plant. Turns out our world owes a lot to those who dabble on the dark side. If you're not scared of crooks and criminals, take a peek at this new side of history. 505 0 $a Venice -- Francisco Pizarro -- Queen Elizabeth I of England -- Catherine the Great -- Napoleon Bonaparte -- Madame Cheng -- Robert Fortune -- Robert Smalls -- William Tweed -- Thomas Edison -- Vincenzo Peruggia -- Klaus Fuchs. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Pizarro, Francisco, $d approximately 1475-1541. 600 00 $a Elizabeth $b I, $c Queen of England, $d 1533-1603. 600 00 $a Catherine $b II, $c Empress of Russia, $d 1729-1796. 600 00 $a Napoleon $b I, $c Emperor of the French, $d 1769-1821. 600 10 $a Zheng, $c Shi, $d 1775-1844. 600 10 $a Fortune, Robert, $d 1813-1880. 600 10 $a Smalls, Robert, $d 1839-1915. 600 10 $a Tweed, William Marcy, $d 1823-1878. 600 10 $a Edison, Thomas A. $q (Thomas Alva), $d 1847-1931. 600 10 $a Peruggia, Vincenzo. 600 10 $a Fuchs, Klaus Emil Julius, $d 1911-1988. 650 0 $a Thieves $v Biography. 650 0 $a Pirates $v Biography. 650 0 $a Rogues and vagabonds $v Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20200806022433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D615FA6D7AA11EAACEF483997128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
