Rivals! 3 Even More Frenemies Who Changed the World

Exclusively on Audible, hilarious history for ages eight and up.

Limber up, ready the troops, and prepare your bowels: Rivals 3! Even More Frenemies Who Changed the World takes a hilarious look at the petty squabbles and bitter feuds that shaped history.

Hear how a single tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs changed women’s sports, how the blood feud between Medieval queens plunged Europe into a decades-long war, how the sibling rivalry between the Kellogg brothers revolutionized breakfast, and how the grudge match between President Harry Truman and General Douglas MacArthur nearly brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

This audiobook has it all: flaming sanitariums, calamitous maps, empowered haberdashers, tennis dogs, singing nuns, marching trees, and heaping bowls of hand-harvested, free-range insults.

Another Awesome Entry into a Fun Series!

This is another really fun entry into the Rivals series, my only knock on it is the last section of the book really drags. There are a lot of names and it's a much more convoluted story than the others in the book. It's not really less interesting, but it is harder to follow, and not nearly as fun of a listen as the others in the book or even in the series overall. My family found it harder to follow than some of the Vikings stories that are filled with similarly named people and places.

Overall though, I still highly recommend this book and really look forward to future versions and editions!

history made fun

My whole family enjoyed this during family trips to pass the time the car ride.

Good

Not as good as the other two but pretty good 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂I’m happy I hope a 4th one comes out

Love This Series!

Another great addition from Scott McCormick to the Rivals series! Each story was funny, informative and engaging (as expected). The last chapter about the queens was really well done. I already knew this history, and the way McCormick simplified it without losing key pieces of history and made all the characters with similar names stand out individually was fantastic. (Kudos also to the voice actors!)
