Alexandra Petri's deranged take on American history captures the spirit of the nation's past so well, I'm afraid it's going to be banned in Florida., [B]rilliantly bananas.... Petri's latest book demonstrates primarily two things: One, she is a genius; and two, no, she really is.... [S]atire at the highest level. ...[A] godsend of a book., Some [of Petri's] selections are wry, some preposterous, some laugh-out-loud funny; all are inventive... This intriguing collection will definitely keep audiences entertained, whether they read through cover to cover or dip in for the occasional treat., A charming, brisk galumph through history. I enjoyed it immensely, as I always do with Alexandra Petri's ricochet reactions to the historical process., Petri's writing is consistently witty and erudite without the slightest hint of pretentiousness... If you can make the 19th-century debate over monetary policy funny, you're clearly on to something., Dazzling...Petri's seemingly effortless ability to reimagine American history in the most bizarre ways makes this one of the most entertaining books you'll read this year...It's a satirical salve at a time when we need humor more than ever., Dazzling. . . .Petri's seemingly effortless ability to reimagine American history in the most bizarre ways makes this one of the most entertaining books you'll read this year. . . .It's a satirical salve at a time when we need humor more than ever., Alexandra Petri's marvelously inventive, wickedly funny, and extremely astute take on US history is exactly what we need as we ponder the future of the American Experiment and begin to prepare for the country's 250th anniversary., I can safely say I will never look at Sesame Street, Emily Dickinson, or John and Abigail Adams's marriage the same way again.

Synopsis
A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Alexandra Petri's US History is the fake textbook you never knew you needed!, As a columnist for the Washington Post , Alexandra Petri has watched in real time as those who didn't learn from history have been forced to repeat it. And repeat it. And repeat it. If we repeat history one more time, we're going to fail! Maybe it's time for a new textbook. Alexandra Petri's US History contains a lost (invented!) history of America. (A history for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding.) Petri's "historical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. On Petri's deranged timeline, John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. Nearly eighty short, hilarious pieces span centuries of American history and culture. Ayn Rand rewrites The Little Engine That Could . Nikola Tesla's friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon. The characters from Sesame Street invade Normandy. And Mark Twain--who famously said reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated--offers a detailed account of his undeath, in which he becomes a zombie. This side-splitting work of historical humor shows why Alexandra Petri has been hailed as a "genius,"* a "national treasure,"+ and "one of the funniest writers alive"+. *Olivia Nuzzi, Katha Pollitt +Julia Ioffe, Katy Tur, John Scalzi, Chuck Wendig, Jamil Smith, and Susan Hennessey +Randall Munroe, As a columnist for the Washington Post, Alexandra Petri has watched in real time as those who didn't learn from history have been forced to repeat it.

Her new, side-splitting work of historical humor uses imagined documents to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. From the Spanish conquistadors to the Salem witch trials, from Paul Revere's ride to the exclamation mark in Oklahoma!, Alexandra Petri's U.S. History presents a deranged timeline in which John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, Nicola Tesla's friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp.
