Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

If you love to laugh, if you love your country, if you are unaware that "the Sixth Amendment states that if you are accused of a crime, you have the right to a trial before a jury of people too stupid to get out of jury duty," Dave Barry Slept Here is the book for you. Every single momentous event and crucial movement is covered, including:

The Birthing Contractions of a Nation

Kicking Some British Butt

The Forging of a Large, Wasteful Bureaucracy

The Civil War: A Nation Pokes Itself in the Eyeball

The Fifties: Peace, Prosperity, Brain Death

The Reagan-Bush Years: Napping Toward Glory

And much more!

Synopsis:

A Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist and columnist whose growing popularity is making him the next Buchwald has his way with the "history" of the mother country, including its founding fathers. An offbeat look at the U.S. for fans of Patrick McManus and Lewis Grizzard.
