Reddit reviews Atrocities: The 100 Deadliest Episodes in Human History

> historically, white people have done pretty shitty stuff

Here's where I make my plug for The Great Big Book of Horrible Things by Matthew White. Helluva fun read, for varying definitions of fun.

You might be surprised to know that, while ordinal ranking #1 is a multicultural affair prominently featuring white people....specifically A white person who was a failed portrait artist from Bavaria....a goodly number of the top 10 were, in fact, atrocities committed by yellow people. Whitey's got nothing on the Mongol horde or any of an interminable number of what are euphemistically rolled together as "Chinese dynastic collapse."

If you want the straight dope on people doing shitty things to people, this is your book.
