If you love to laugh, if you love your country, if you are unaware that "the Sixth Amendment states that if you are accused of a crime, you have the right to a trial before a jury of people too stupid to get out of jury duty," Dave Barry Slept Here is the book for you. Every single momentous event and crucial movement is covered, including:
The Birthing Contractions of a Nation
Kicking Some British Butt
The Forging of a Large, Wasteful Bureaucracy
The Civil War: A Nation Pokes Itself in the Eyeball
The Fifties: Peace, Prosperity, Brain Death

And much more!

Lori C. (ok, so this is classic Dave Barry, but I was a bit annoyed thinking it would be more historical. Definitely funny, though!
Lynda C. (Dave Barry proves once again that his strong suit is short columns. When he tries to string a book-length feature (this time a cockeyed take on the history of the United States), the result is lukewarm and only mildly humorous.
Dave Barry at his best. If you enjoy history, you will get some real laughs out of Dave Barry's account.
I love Dave Barry's spin on US History - I laughed out loud!
