Eric Sass talks with host Dan Skinner about the The Mental Floss History of the United States: The (Almost) Complete and (Entirely) Entertaining Story of America. In the introduction to his latest book, Eric Sass notes that while Americans may be patriotic, it doesn’t mean they know their nation’s history. So, the author set out to create the history book you wish you would have had in school. With detailed outlines, charts and “by the numbers” rounds ups, and trivia, the book explores the myths of history and sets the historical record straight. More information is available at mentalfloss.com.
