Washington Post humour columnist Alexandra Petri is perhaps America's most beloved political satirist. Her new, side-splitting work of historical humour uses imagined documents to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. From the Spanish conquistadors to the Salem witch trials, from Paul Revere's ride to the exclamation mark in Oklahoma!, Alexandra Petri's U.S. History presents a deranged timeline in which John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, Nicola Tesla's friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Petri's "historical fan fiction" shows why she has been hailed as "genius,"* a "national treasure"** and "one of the funniest writers alive."*** *Olivia Nuzzi, Katha Pollitt **Julia Ioffe, Katy Tur, John Scalzi, Chuck Wendig, Jamil Smith, and Susan Hennessey *** Randall Munroe
