What was the Stone Age? Why was Julius Caesar murdered? Why is the shamrock the symbol of St. Patrick? What are England's royal "houses"? Did Marie Antoinette really say, "Let them eat cake"? When did people first migrate to North America? What were the first political parties in the United States? When did chain stores first appear? Were the Nazi's socialists? Who was Typhoid Mary?

If "History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes" (as Mark Twain is reputed to have said) then The Handy History Answer Book is a lyrical and poetic treat. Clear, concise, and straightforward, this informative primer is a resource for brushing up on the events, terms, and history-makers many of us remember from school but can't completely recall. A perfect companion for history buffs of all ages.…
