The Great Book of Crazy President Trivia is filled with many lesser-known facts about the American presidents. It is filled with great stories of the US presidents that you will not find in any US history books.

When you listen to this trivia book, you are going to learn not only about the presidents of the US but about the history of the US as well. When we learn about the presidents, most often we learn about a few of their accomplishments that they had while in office. However, this book is going to show you the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to the lives of these men.
At the end of each chapter, you will find trivia questions and answers that are going to allow you to learn even more about the men who have been in charge of the United States of America. You are going to learn how war not only challenged these men but how it affected who they were. You will see how great decisions were made as well as some that were not so great.
In the end, you are going to find that these men were in fact just men who took on a huge responsibility. Some of them were successful, some of them failed miserably, but each of them, with their own hands, molded the US into what it is today.

Worst. President. Ever. flips the great presidential biography on its head, offering an enlightening - and highly entertaining - account of poor James Buchanan's presidency to prove once and for all that, well, few leaders could have done worse. But author Robert Strauss does much more, leading listeners out of Buchanan's terrible term in office to explore with insight and humor his own obsession with presidents, and ultimately the entire notion of ranking our presidents.

Historia
The urgent need to honor the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence came to Douglas MacKinnon, fittingly enough, on the Fourth of July. While doing research for a column meant to remind the American people of that date’s critical importance, he came across example after example of those from the left and the far left—be they in the mainstream media, activists, or anarchists—calling for not only the “canceling” of the Fourth of July, but the continued smearing, censorship, and canceling of our Founding Fathers.

In the summer of 1776, fifty-six men risked their lives and livelihood to defy King George III and sign the Declaration of Independence - yet how many of them do we actually remember? Signing Their Lives Away introduces listeners to the eclectic group of statesmen, soldiers, slaveholders, and scoundrels who signed this historic document - and the many strange fates that awaited them. Some prospered and rose to the highest levels of United States government, while others had their homes and farms seized by British soldiers.

Historia
Picking America's best presidents is easy. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt usually lead the list. But choosing the nation's worst presidents requires more thought. In Star-Spangled Men, respected presidential biographer Nathan Miller puts on display those leaders who were abject failures as chief executive. With pointed humor and a deft hand, he presents a rogues' gallery of the men who dropped the presidential ball, and sometimes their pants as well.

As a prisoner of war, Andrew Jackson walked several miles barefoot across state lines while suffering from smallpox and a serious head wound received when he refused to polish the boots of the soldiers who had taken him captive. He was thirteen years old. A few decades later, he became the first popularly elected president and served the nation, pausing briefly only to beat a would-be assassin with a cane to within an inch of his life.

The presidential election of 1920 was among history's most dramatic. Six once-and-future presidents--Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, and Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt--jockeyed for the White House. With voters choosing between Wilson's League of Nations and Harding's front-porch isolationism, the 1920 election shaped modern America.

For more than 20 years since his New York Times best seller Don't Know Much About History first appeared, Davis has shown that Americans don't hate history, just the dull version dished out in school. Now Davis turns his attention to what is arguably the most important and most fascinating subject in American history: our presidents. From the heated debates over executive powers through the curious election of George Washington in 1789 and, for more than 200 years, up through the meteoric rise of Barack Obama, the presidency has been at the heart of American history.

Abraham Lincoln's determination to hold the North and South together would ultimately lead to the bloodiest war in American history, the abolition of slavery, and his own untimely death from an assassin’s bullet. But to see Lincoln solely as a tragic figure consumed with the strife of mid-19th century America is to miss meeting him as a man who never allowed himself to be defeated by adversity, grief, or turmoil.

Bestselling author and Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling presents an infuriating, amusing, revealing, and outrageous history of American politics, past and present, Republican and Democrat. From national political scandals to tempests in a teapot that blew up; bribery, blackmail, bullying, and backroom deals that contradicted public policies; cronyism that cost taxpayers hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars; and personal conduct that can only be described as regrettable, The Swamp is a journey downriver through the bayous and marshes of Capitol Hill and Foggy Bottom.

How to Get Rid of a President showcases the political dark arts in action: a stew of election dramas, national tragedies, and presidential departures mixed with party intrigue, personal betrayal, and backroom shenanigans. This briskly paced, darkly humorous voyage proves that while the pomp and circumstance of presidential elections might draw more attention, the way that presidents are removed teaches us much more about our political order.

With Abraham Lincoln's assassination, his "team of rivals" was left adrift. President Andrew Johnson, a former slave owner from Tennessee, was challenged by Northern Congressmen, Radical Republicans led by Thaddeus Stephens and Charles Sumner, who wanted to punish the defeated South. When Johnson's policies placated the rebels at the expense of the freed black men, radicals in the House impeached him for trying to fire Secretary of War Edwin Stanton.

As the 32nd president of the United States of America, Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a common household name in both his home country and the world. Known as the man who led the United States through the Great Depression and World War II, Roosevelt was a leader and a statesman, a scholar, and a politician. Franklin D. Roosevelt is the only president to have served for three consecutive terms and voted in for a fourth, a fact that allows him to stand out among the long list of American presidents.

I Absolutely Love These Books by Bill O'Neill
🖒 I absolutely love these books by Bill O'Neill. They are written for older elementary school students, but I think they are appropriate for any age. If you are a history or political junkie, like yours truly, you will love it as much as I did.
🖒 This book highlights each of our 45 presidents, giving a brief history (not found in history books) and a few quirky facts that may make you see that president in a different light.
🖒 This is an instructive book with opportunities at the end of each chapter for the listener to test himself on the material he just heard. A great way to reinforce learning.
🖒🖒 Rob Maxwell is engaging and makes the book entertaining. I really enjoyed his performance.

Fun, light history snack
This is a great book to read between longer works. If you enjoy history and trivia, it should be right up your alley. I have heard some of the content before, but there are 45 presidents at this point and I can never have it reinforced too much.
Rob Maxwell does a good job and works with the content to deliver an nice breezy read.

Quirky not so Crazy
This was a fun quick listen on trivia of American Presidents. There were some great facts thrown in that I did not know from my previous study. Many of the facts given were more of a quirky nature and less crazy reveal. All in all a fun listen.
I provided this review in exchange for a complimentary copy of the audiobook from the author, narrator, or publisher.

Some aren't so crazy but still interesting
Despite being titled "crazy president trivia" much of the trivia here, while interesting, ins't really crazy. This book is good for getting a quick overview of who the Presidents are, what they did and what they are known for.
The book runs through each of the presidents, telling a brief history of their Presidency (although for some, like Lincoln, it focuses as much on his pre-Presidential life). Some it is a straight forward history. 'They we're elected here, they did this'. Some have some interesting stuff - like Cleveland marrying his ward who was 27 years younger than him.
There are some things that are strange, possibly unintentionally so. The author states that Reagan was an amazing President, telling of some of the things he did. Then a few lines later, in some of the small trivia parts he talks about how Reagan like Trump is. Does that mean he thinks Trump is amazing? I don't know. I would hazard a guess the author is more Republican than Democrat, based on how he talks about the last few Presidents. Then again, it is hard to talk about the legacy of presidents who are very recent, as the legacy isn't fully known. I don't think it changes the book too much - it seems fairly even handed more the most part.
Rob Maxwell does well with narration. Clear, well paced and enjoyable to listen to.

Great facts and tales. Great Narrator
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this audio book to anyone who is into history or interested in learning about the Presidents. The facts were interesting and the anecdotes were funny. Also gives short bios of each president.
What did you like best about this story?
while it was not a story in the strictest sense, it had many different short stories. The one about President Johnson and his...Johnson was very funny and a great piece of interesting presidential trivia.
What does Rob Maxwell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He did a great job in the relaying of the facts. He used comic timing to tell the funnier facts and a solemn affectation when conveying some of the more tragic facts. This could have been a one man show if it were live with costume changes.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
What!!! No They Didn't!!!
Any additional comments?
I requested a free review copy of this audio book and I am leaving a voluntary and honest review.

Don’t Judge This Book By Its Cover
Author Bill O’Neill sold himself short when he titled his book “The Great Book of Crazy Presidential Trivia”. That title sets a tone of frivolity when, in fact, this book has some substance and meat on its bones. O’Neill’s work is a terrific introduction to all our Presidents and gives the listener some great insights for each and every one. But beyond that it delves into detail on some important Presidential moments like John Adams’ involvement in the Boston Massacre trial and the causes behind the first-ever impeachment of a President in the case of Andrew Johnson.
If you don’t know the difference between Tyler and Taylor, Harrison and Harrison or Roosevelt and Roosevelt this book is a useful tool that will not only provide basic but interesting information on all our Chief Executives but also pique your curiosity on some in particular which may lay the foundation for further reading on individual presidents of interest. Covering forty-five administrations in under three hours does mean there is more breadth than depth but, again, it may lead to further individual in-depth exploration.
The only negative I found was Rob Maxwell’s narration. I found his tone too light-hearted. I think he should have been more serious about his narration which, in my opinion, would have lent a greater air of credibility to the book.
Bill O’Neill needs to give himself more credit: this book is far from crazy!

Very biased
The first part of the book is interesting. As we get closer to present day it is a glorification of anyone conservative and a hit piece on the more liberal minded presidents.
