Laugh and learn with this humorous compendium that sets the historical record straight—and "manages to educate and entertain simultaneously" ( Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Smarter than your old history teacher, funnier than the founding fathers, and more American than apple pie,  The Mental Floss History of the United States is an almost (but not entirely) comprehensive primer on American history (or at least, the good stuff). From the editors of the popular website and magazine, this is an American history text packed with hilarious (but true!) trivia written in the smart-aleck tradition of Mental Floss—perfect for trivia buffs, history lovers, college students, and anyone who likes to laugh and learn. United States history has never been so much fun. "Breezy, bullet-pointed, and well-illustrated." — Financial Times
