About this title

Synopsis:

Mark Steyn, wrote The Washington Post's Peter Carlson, "may be the world's wittiest obit writer." So here, by special request, is a collection of favorites from Mark's morgue, obituaries and appreciations of towering figures and scurvy lowlifes and all points in between. Inside you'll find Steyn's take on Ronald Reagan, Idi Amin, the Princess of Wales, Bob Hope, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Artie Shaw and Pope John Paul II - plus Zimbabwe's Reverend Canaan Banana, Scotty from Star Trek, Nixon's secretary and Gershwin's girlfriend. It's the passing parade of our times, from presidents and prime ministers to the guy who invented Cool Whip.
