Definitely think this book (re)schooled me in the French contribution to the formation of our nation. Something which for the most part seems to be forgotten in the contemporary era. Great read.

History with a healthy helping of snark. To make the medicine go down. Great for fans of Drunk History. Also Hamilton, although A. Ham himself is rarely spotted.
I could have used an end-ier ending.

This is a great audiobook choice for family listening, which is how I experienced it. Sarah Vowell, who has a truly unique voice suited to her sarcastic, humorous writing style, and a cast of famous actors read it, making engaging listening. Her book is for history fans who don't mind a jokey, personality-focused telling of American history events.
