I loved it

An ideal bathroom book: full of thirty second anecdotes. I'm no historian, but reasonably well read, and as best I can tell, almost all of these stories are true. It features the humorous, scandalous, and tragic. An excellent side view of US history.

Full of Humor!

If you have the chance to read this book, do it! It's full of fun, interesting facts that I know anyone would enjoy!
