Not sure how accurate all if this is, but an entertaining coffee table read nonetheless.
Every High school student/College freshman should have to read this book. It gives history of the US through 2010 and it makes it funny and readable.
It's an entertaining read, especially if you only have a few minutes here and there to do some reading. As with any book of this nature, if you know something about a subject before reading the book and they offer a different explanation you wonder about the accuracy of the rest of the information...
