Alexandra Petri's US History contains a lost (invented!) history of America. (A history for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding.) Petri's "historical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Alexandra Petri's US History is the fake textbook you never knew you needed.

Go deep inside Donald Trump's "very, very large brain" for a tongue-in-cheek look at the events that shaped his Presidency, from his bromance with Kim Jong Un to Trump single-handedly saving the U.S. Armed Forces from ruin by ordering more bullets. This humorous and fictional "unauthorized autobiography" sheds behind-the-scenes light on these and other seminal events from his chaotic term as Dotard-in-Chief, as his BFF Kim calls him in the love letters they share.

Everything, well, almost everything, you know about American history is wrong because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academic historians who treat their biases as fact. But fear not; Professor Thomas Woods refutes the popular myths in The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.

In Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why, acclaimed satirist Alexandra Petri offers perfectly logical, reassuring reasons for everything that has happened in recent American politics that will in no way unsettle your worldview. In essays both new and adapted from her viral Washington Post columns, Petri reports that the Trump administration is as competent as it is uncorrupted, white supremacy has never been less rampant, and men have been silenced for too long. The "woman card" is a powerful card to play! Q-Anon makes perfect sense!

HOPALONG HILLARY COWPERSONThis story is completely fictional. All the places and people are fictional. Except, of course, for well-known stuff. For example, who hasn't heard of Arkansas? Once you’ve read a little of this fascinating tale, if you think on it, these characters have to be fictional. After all, who in their right mind could believe that people like these actually exist? Anyway, sit back and hold on. Forget about the fables. Forget about all of the movies you've seen. Prepare yourself to read how the Old West was really won. Prepare to read about the woman who tamed the Old ...

Jim Sams has undergone a metamorphosis. In his previous life he was ignored or loathed, but in his new incarnation he is the most powerful man in Britain - and it is his mission to carry out the will of the people. Nothing must get in his way; not the opposition, nor the dissenters within his own party. Not even the rules of parliamentary democracy. In this bitingly funny Kafkaesque satire, Ian McEwan engages with scabrous humor a very recognizable political world and turns it on its head.

Pussy is the story of Prince Fracassus, heir presumptive to the Duchy of Origen, famed for its golden-gated skyscrapers and casinos, who passes his boyhood watching reality shows on TV, imagining himself to be the Roman Emperor Nero, and fantasizing about hookers.

He is idle, boastful, thin skinned and egotistic. He has no manners, no curiosity, no knowledge, no idea and no words with which to express them. Could he, in that case, be the very leader to make the country great again?

Look Who's Back is a cutting satire on modern media-bloated, celebrity-obsessed society, seen through the eyes of Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler wakes up on a patch of open ground, alive and well. It is the Summer of 2011 and things have changed - no Eva Braun, no Nazi party, no war. Hitler barely recognizes his beloved Fatherland, filled with immigrants and run by a woman.

A gritty, darkly satirical short story about power, persuasion, and the peril of turning a blind eye to uncomfortable truths. Set aboard a seemingly ordinary tour bus, this story unpacks how truth can be twisted, trust can be bought with promises, and entire groups can be led astray, not through force, but through flattery, fear, and the seductive comfort of belonging. What begins as a frustrating travel delay quickly spirals into a chilling lesson in manipulation. A charismatic stranger promises salvation, but delivers only chaos, division, and delusion. Some passengers resist. Most stay ...

In Leonard Wibberley's classic political satire, a tiny backwards country decides the only way to survive a sudden economic downturn is to declare war on the United States and lose to get foreign aid - but things don't go according to plan. The Mouse That Roared was made into a successful feature film starring Peter Sellers.

Book 1: The Mouse That Roared Book 2: The Mouse On The Moon Book 3: The Mouse On Wall Street Book 4: ...

In a country torn between left and right, two politicians are about to make history. How? By working together! In a nutshell, that’s the premise of this book. House Divided is a political satire, but it’s really a political fantasy, because it takes two opposing candidates, who wouldn’t normally be caught dead together, and challenges them to spend a weekend in the remote Oregon desert - hiking together, camping together, even getting wasted together!

Drumpf & Sons: Capitol Gains A Novel of Power, Profit, and the Privatization of a Presidency In the United Republic of Columbia, democracy didn’t die — it got a rebrand. When billionaire-turned-President Ron Drumpf reclaims the Ivory House, he brings his children, his company, and his golden furniture with him. What follows is a blisteringly absurd and disturbingly plausible descent into dynastic rule, where national assets are auctioned to shell companies, foreign autocrats are rewarded with government contracts, and loyalty to the ruling family is rewarded with pardons — or profit. ...
