The Pre-Game Show is a short general history of America from the earliest explorers to the Stamp Act. This is the large font version of his book, Early American History.  Mike Donovan has been a headlining stand-up comedian for more than 40 years, and this book is a nice fluid blend of information and humor. It's not a comedy, it's a serious basic history book, but with a light touch of irreverence. Mike has appeared as a comedian on WBZ radio for 2 hours in his career, and for more than 100 hours as "The Official Overnight WBZ Historian." This is his second book.

This is the perfect companion book when you're reading other books about WWII. Mike Donovan is a stand-up comedian and an opinionated American. He makes no claim to even attempt anything like objectivity here. These mini-biographies are lively and informative, but they also lead the reader into discussions about larger subjects. So this is really an alternate history of WWII with people used as anchors to help to spotlighted subjects. The bio of Reichminister of Labor, Robert Ley, for example, is more about forced labor in the Reich than it is about Ley. Learn about the war through the lives of the people who fought it. This is a nice mix of military and political individuals. This is the 11 font Mike Donovan version. It is less expensive than the 14-font version I have published under the Michael Donovan name.

This is a short, first edition of a book that will be sure to grow. Part I is a series of pieces about Soviet History, and Part II is called "Responses to Soviet Propaganda," which I wrote in 1988, just before the fall of Communism. This is not yet a comprehensive history of the Soviet Union, but future editions may change that picture. I am a stand-up comedian and a life-long student of the USSR.

Glory, Glory Lane is the life-affirming history—including a momentous last season—of a world-famous football stadium, home to Tottenham Hotspur for 118 years. A Victorian structure turned wraparound 21st-century all-seater, it became a theater of dreams for supporters all attracted by teams which played the "Spurs way" to achieve glory. The Lane gave a stage to a conveyor belt of legends from Cameron to Alli via Nicholson, Blanchflower, Greaves, Hoddle, and Klinsmann. It provided unforgettable memories in unforgettable atmospheres—heart-lifting, heart-breaking, nerve-racking. Its story veers from founders obsessed by Harry Hotspur to Harry Kane via Harry Redknapp; through matches, personalities, ground developments, and threatened closure, all with first-hand accounts. It’s hard to imagine how a new £750m stadium can ever replace the edifice which shut its gates for the last time after Spurs played Manchester United in May 2017, having created a daunting legacy.

Exclusive insights provided by his family, closest friends and colleagues add to the author's own experience to reveal Gilzean, the man and the player. A reserved, charming and intelligent individual who shunned the limelight off the field, Gilzean played with a swagger as a maker and taker of goals, especially alongside Jimmy Greaves at Spurs.

Gilzean emerged a Scottish folk hero having scored the winning goal against England in front of 133,000 at Hampden Park - and was later welcomed back with open arms by the game after ending a self-imposed exile during which the uninformed conjured often defamatory myths. The elegant striker dubbed 'Nureyev in Boots' left us on Sunday, 8 July 2018. There will never be another like him.</div>
