I loved this book. I'm college educated but didn't pay attention to any history other than what I could use in my D&D game. This had hilarious stuff like animals being tried for witchcraft but also things I should have known the details of like Watergate, the Cuban Missile Crisis etc...
I feel like by reading these short synopsis about these 100's of events was time well spent and much more effective than taking a history class or reading more in-depth books that concentrate on just a couple topics.
Definitely suggested for the history class sleepers out there.
