What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don't: A Nonpartisan Guide to the Issues That Matter

â€œEngaging and inspiring . . . Reading this book should make you want to vote.â€â€”Barack Obama

Jobs, health care, energy, civil literties, and more more are on the ballot again. In a world of sound bites, deliberate misinformation, and a political scene colored by the blue versus red partisan divide, how does the average educated American find a reliable source thatâ€™s free of political spin? What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Donâ€™t breaks it all down, issue by issue, explaining who stands for what, and whyâ€”whether itâ€™s the economy, income inequality, Obamacare, foreign policy, education, immigration, or climate change. If youâ€™re a Democrat, a Republican, or somewhere in between, itâ€™s the perfect book to brush up on a single topic or read through to get a deeper understanding of the often mucky world of American politics.
