Can you name five military leaders who were transgendered? Twelve
cases of involuntary human experimentation by the U.S. government? How
about the four porn novels written by famous authors, 11 books left
out of the Bible and over 50 side effects of NutraSweet that have been
reported to the FDA? In 1977, David Wallechinsky, Irving Wallace and
Amy Wallace published The Book of Lists, causing an immediate
sensation. Not only did it lead to three direct sequels (in 1980, 1983
and 1993), it also created a new genre. Soon, shelves were lined
with The First Original Unexpurgated Authentic Canadian Book of
Lists (1978), The Book of Sports Lists (1979) and Meredith’s Book
of Bible Lists (1980), among many others. Using this popular,
enduring format, Russ Kick’s Disinformation Book of Lists delves
into the murkier aspects of politics, current events, business,
history, science, art and literature, sex, drugs, death and more.
Despite such unusual subject matter, this book presents hard,
substantiated facts with full references. Among the lists presented:
Innocent People Freed from Prison Members of the Skull & Bones Secret
Society at Yale Drugs Pulled Off the Market After They Killed Too Many
People Legal Substances that Will Get You High Scenes that Were Cut
from Movies Raunchy Songs that Were Never Released Military Officers,
Government Officials, Astronauts, and Airline Personnel Who Say UFOs
