America: The Farewell Tour by Chris Hedges

dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

4.25

This book should be required reading for every civics class. No matter the age. Hedges discloses what exactly has been happening behind many of American’s eyes for the last two decades. The pervasive greed inhibiting political action and the slow downfall of a once great empire. Many books have been written about these phenomena in the last five years but what Hedges does different, in my opinion, is not use Trump as the fall guy but simply views him as a tool using this decayed system to his and his followers’ advantage. I’d place this book up there as a modern version of “The People’s History of the U.S.”
