I miss Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. His commitment to sharing books with his audience isn't something easy to replace. This is one of those books that probably wouldn't have shown up on my radar without him, and I'm glad it did. Offerman does a fantastic job of making history relatable, portrays historical figures as "real" people and highlighting a quality that feels missing in today's America - gumption. I recommend this book to people who don't think history is interesting, that non-fiction is boring, or anyone who wants to learn something new. America's "greatness" was grounded in gumption and these stories help us find a little bit of it again.
