Do you know America? No, I mean, do you REALLY know America? Would you recognize John Adams in a lineup? Can you identify any presidents between Lincoln and Roosevelt?
Hmmm. I thought so.
Well, you really need this book.
Not only will it improve your sorry historical knowledge, it will crack you up, and give you material to throw your teachers off-balance for entire class periods. Identify their lies! Point out their half-truths! And possibly, just possibly, gain some extra credit for yourself.

Adam Selzer (born July 13, 1980, in Des Moines, Iowa) is an American author. Adam Selzer's first novel was How To Get Suspended and Influence People, a 2007 Random House novel which was included on the Chicago Public Schools 2007 Summer Reading List. It was also nominated for a Cybils 2007 Fiction award, and, in 2009, made national news after attempts were made to have it removed from an Idaho library; it was included in the American Library Association's Banned Books Week packet in 2010. In 2013, his 2011 novel Sparks (published under the name "SJ Adams") was named a Stonewall Honor book, as well as being placed on the ALA's "Rainbow List." His Smart Aleck's Guide to American History was nominated for a YALSA award for nonfiction by the American Library Association in 2011. Critics frequently compared the humor to that of The Daily Show and Mark Twain. His novel, I Put a Spell On You: From the Files of Chrissie Woodward, Spelling Bee Detective (which was based on Watergate) was nominated for a Great Lakes Book Award and short-listed for an Edgar award nomination. A 2009 short film he co-wrote, At Last, Okemah!, won awards at multiple festivals. Do you know America? No, I mean, do you REALLY know America? Would you recognize John Adams in a lineup?
