Spectacular Stories for Curious Kids by Jesse Sullivan

Rating: WARTY!

"Explore 100 fascinating, fun, and true tales that span history, science, entertainment, and more! From accidental inventions and the sandwich that started a war...." Sorry, but that's a lie. A sandwich did not start a war. The killer of the Archduke Ferdinand was waiting where he should have been. It was the Archduke's motorcade that went the wrong way; instead of taking an alternate route, the idiot driver followed the expected route and Princip was right there, waiting and able to successfully murder the man. This 'sandwich' story is post-hoc bullshit. No wonder they're giving this book away for free!
