Summary: Fun to read, fun to pass around
Comment: You'll be amused, you'll read some of these out loud to your friends, then they will enjoy it and pass it on. Very light, very fun.
Rating: 4
Summary: Delightful Anecdotes
Comment: Not exactly heavy reading, since one can finish it in one sitting with little effort, but this was one of the most fun books this little history buff has ever read.
ONSWAH gives a few dozen anecdotes and unusual or ironic facts in each era of American history on up until the Carter administration.
For anyone who is interested in America history and wants something more akin to brain candy, I highly recommend this book. It's one you will pull off the shelf again and again, just to make sure that little known and silly fact actually does exist and you didn't just imagine it. Just please don't start any bar fights over some of the odder bits of trivia.

Summary: One Night Stands...
Comment: Wonderful book. Second I have read from Shenkman and I am off to order more. There are few books that when the end comes, you have a deep feeling of regret. I hated to see the book end. It treats history in an interesting manner and provides stories that are often left out in the dry classes that worry about covering a survey course and not the interesting tidbit of social history which add to the flavor of our American society.
