The Greatest Stories Never Told by Rick Beyer

informative fast-paced

3.0

 
This was a cute and quick read - lots of fun historical stories, some that I knew and others that I didn't. Definitely very American though, since there's an assumption that you already know about certain historical events (I know that the Watergate scandal was discovered because someone taped the latch of a door, but I still don't really know what the scandal was and no book with the tape story ever explains the scandal).

It's gotten a bit old now - everything is from before 2000, but it's still a fun little read. Definitely a good intro to some bite-sized historical events if you're looking for a quick history book.
