The American Revolutionary War Trivia Book - (Trivia War Books) by Bill O'Neill & Dwayne Walker (Paperback) (2024)

Welcome to the 1770s, years of big hats, big wigs, and big ideas. You might have learned about the American Revolution in history classes, but this book is here to tell you everything your teachers couldn't. Get ready to learn all about the American Revolution, from the ins and outs of the Enlightenment philosophy that inspired the war, to which stories you've heard about the Founding Fathers may be straight-up false, how the War of Independence sparked a wave of new bids for revolution from Ireland to Japan, and why the movie where Nicholas Cage steals the Declaration of Independence is a great piece of American Revolution philosophy.

You'll learn:

Each chapter of our trivia books is broken up into fifteen short sections that will introduce you to major players, major ideas, or majorly weird stories. Unlike your high school history teacher, we're not going to put you to sleep with the names of a million generals, or the dates and places of every time the British and Americans looked at each other funny. To go along with the fifteen short break-downs of the war, every chapter also ends with twenty fun facts or bits of trivia, and five questions to test your knowledge on the American Revolution.

So put on your tricorn hat, ready your stars and stripes, and get ready to learn...

"If the title for my might sound somewhat familiar it's because Socrates said it. There's a profound truth about this quote, a truth which can never be denied as it's what going to school and reading books like this one is all about.

I've already read several books written by this author and none of them failed to teach me something new. Back in my high school days I'd been an A+ [94 average] student when it came to history, of which American History, especially the American Revolution, had been my favorite history subject area; which is why I didn't hesitate in buying a KINDLE copy.

Regardless of the American History classes you've taken, there has only always been an unfortunate, predetermined amount of time that your teachers/professors had to teach that semester's entire syllabus, of which the American Revolution had been a relatively small portion of time. This time restriction gave the major components/battles of this period to be taught and everything thrown to the wayside and totally forgotten about.

To get a basic idea of what the book covers and its format just read the author's description for his book. For giving his readers, and this A+ American History high school student, an eye-opening, insightful reading experience with information that would have otherwise remained hidden and forgotten about; I've given this book 5 STARS." by Robin Leigh Morgan

"I picked this book up to read on a long flight. I was able to read through very quickly. It was interesting kept my attention. Plus brought out all kinds of interesting things that I was not aware of even though I've studied the Revolutionary War in multiple college courses." by A. S. Montgomery

"As someone who's read other titles by this author, I found this book to be a good "inside" resource about the Revolutionary War. The book starts with pre-War information, and then gets into information about the War. A lot of facts can be had that are not "general knowledge" in typical American history books. If you want to know below the usual layer of knowledge, then this book is it! Recommended." by D. Dalal
