"Once again Mo Rocca delivers a funny and smart offering whilst punning off his first name." --Jon Stewart "I'm dead keen to read it and alive with joy at not being included."-- P. J. O'Rourke , author of, most recently, None of My Business "In our fact-challenged times, Rocca's joyful tour through the "didja know"s of history is an unexpected antidote."--T he New Yorker "There's an attention to detail in Rocca's book (which he penned with college friend and current professor Jonathan Greenberg) that makes it readable in both long and short bursts....You can pick up the book for a few minutes or an entire afternoon and have a satisfying experience."-- Forbes "[Mo Rocca's obituaries have] a rare and welcome generosity of spirit...They revisit people who died long ago but were denied full appreciation. They're exhumation as celebration. -- Frank Bruni, New York Times Opinion Columnist "With wit, exuberance and a touch of mischievousness, Mobituaries provides fascinating facts for all ages."-- Shelf Awareness, "Mo Rocca is like a box of chocolates; the more you taste him, the more you love him. And he just gets better and better. Read on and enjoy slowly." -- Angie Dickinson , Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actress "Mo Rocca has given us a candy bowl of tasty morsels: tales of fascinating folks that we don't know enough about. It's a joy for curious minds, and addictive reading." -- Walter Isaacson , #1 New York Times bestselling author of Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci, "Once again Mo Rocca delivers a funny and smart offering whilst punning off his first name." --Jon Stewart, "Mo Rocca is like a box of chocolates; the more you taste him, the more you love him.

Synopsis
From popular TV correspondent and writer Rocca comes a charmingly irreverent and rigorously researched book that celebrates the dead people who made life worth living., From beloved CBS Sunday Morning correspondent and humorist Mo Rocca, an entertaining and rigorously researched book that celebrates the dead people who have long fascinated him. Mo Rocca has always loved obituaries--reading about the remarkable lives of global leaders, Hollywood heavyweights, and innovators who changed the world. But not every notable life has gotten the send-off it deserves. His quest to right that wrong inspired Mobituaries, his #1 hit podcast. Now with Mobituaries , the book, he has gone much further, with all new essays on artists, entertainers, sports stars, political pioneers, founding fathers, and more. Even if you know the names, you've never understood why they matter...until now. Take Herbert Hoover: before he was president, he was the "Great Humanitarian," the man who saved tens of millions from starvation. But after less than a year in the White House, the stock market crashed, and all the good he had done seemed to be forgotten. Then there's Marlene Dietrich, well remembered as a screen goddess, less remembered as a great patriot. Alongside American servicemen on the front lines during World War II, she risked her life to help defeat the Nazis of her native Germany. And what about Billy Carter and history's unruly presidential brothers? Were they ne'er-do-well liabilities...or secret weapons? Plus, Mobits for dead sports teams, dead countries, the dearly departed station wagon, and dragons. Yes, dragons. Rocca is an expert researcher and storyteller. He draws on these skills here. With his dogged reporting and trademark wit, Rocca brings these men and women back to life like no one else can. Mobituaries is an insightful and unconventional account of the people who made life worth living for the rest of us, one that asks us to think about who gets remembered, and why.

    I received a different version of the item that was advertised - but am extremely happy to report that Clarissa responded quickly and, once it was confirmed, issued a refund without delay. I've ordered from this vendor in the past: wonderful high quality books, & have always enjoyed quick replies with helpful information, great prices and fast shipping. Mistakes happen. Rock solid customer service is RARE. Thank you, Clarissa for handling the discrepancy so well. I'll def buy from you again!

    🎈🎈🧨🧨🎈🎈 This seller is all about service and customer satisfaction!! I ordered a book, received a book (very fast shipping), but it was not the title I ordered (same subject matter). I sent a message explaining what happened, received very quick response that was apologetic and requesting some additional info about the book I received. Sent that info and again very quick response. The book I wanted was not in stock, a full refund was issued, and I was allowed to keep the book I received!!😀

    What I didn't know!

    Apparently, quite a lot. I learned about the President responsible for flowing traffic, I learned an Astronomer died in prison, I learned who was responsible for uniform sizing on products, etc.. A wonderful book that I will keep and reread.

    Loved this book by Mo Rocca

    Love this book by Mo Rocca. Great read. Interesting facts (Like Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died the same day). I highly recommend getting and reading this book.
