I wanted to learn about politics with historical examples. This book had it. It’s got a few key points that repeats and is reassured throughout the book. It got repetitive at some point due to the lack of ideas & examples. But this was a good start for a beginner who has limited ideas and knowledge about politics and democracy

This was a really well written and researched look at American Politics today, and how we got here. It isn't only about America, but it does compare and contrast the US against other world leaders and systems.

If you follow politics, you'll have heard a lot of this before, but after reading this book you'll know more details and be able to see the progression (or would it be regression) of the political parties in America. 

If you don't follow politics, you should read this book and have your eyes opened to it.
