I've been listening a lot to the School Sucks Podcast lately, and I find some of the history content they talk about very intriguing. The host brings on Thaddeus Russell quite a bit, who is the author of A Renegade History of the United States. I'm saving up money so I can buy his book, but in the mean time, can anyone guide me towards places to learn about interesting things throughout history? Things that are controversial perhaps, or that our "masters" wouldn't want us to know, things you'd never read about in any school textbook. There is no wrong answer, I know my question is very broad, just anything you find interesting would be great. Thanks!

His early romantic relationships were almost all with men – his diary lists 50 gay affairs between the ages of 18 and 33, ranging from Bloomsbury Set painter Duncan Grant and writer Lytton Strachey to a boy who operated the lift in a London Tube station. But then he amazed all his friends by falling in love with a 38-year-old Russian ballerina, Lydia Lopokova, right, and marrying her in 1925. It was, it seems, a genuine love match. Robert Skidelsky, Keynes's biographer, says: "Sexual relations certainly developed, and by 1924 Lydia was appreciative of Maynard's 'subtle' sexual technique."
