Sheinkin's entertaining histories cover the Revolutionary and Civil wars. George (originally Storyteller's History: The American Revolution) begins with thirteen ways to start a revolution. Miserable opens with thirteen ways to rip a country apart. Each book includes personal, frequently irreverent, accounts of the participants. The layouts invite browsing: bold subheadings, short exposition, numerous pen-and-ink cartoonlike illustrations, and plenty of maps. Bib., ind. [Review covers these titles: King George: What Was His Problem? and Two Miserable Presidents.] (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
