The mental floss history of the United States : the (almost) complete and (entirely) entertaining story of America

Sass, Erik. (Author). Pearson, Will. (Added Author). Hattikudur, Mangesh. (Added Author).

Summary: Smarter than a history teacher, funnier than the Founding Fathers, and more American than Alaska, an almost (but not entirely) comprehensive primer on American history (or at least, the good stuff). Chapters include interactive worksheets, and the book features a selection of "best of" lists, such as the 10 most notorious mobsters and 7 most corrupt presidents.
