What You Should Know About Politics...But Don't

A Nonpartisan Guide to the Issues That Matter

By: Jessamyn Conrad

Narrated by: Teri Schnaubelt

In a world of sound bites, deliberate misinformation, and a political scene that is colored by the blue-versus-red partisan divide. How does the average educated American find a reliable source that's free of political spin?

What You Should Know About Politics...But Don't breaks it all down, issue by issue, explaining who stands for what, and why - whether it's the economy, income inequality, Obamacare, foreign policy, education, immigration, or climate change.

If you're a Democrat, a Republican, or somewhere in between, it's the perfect audiobook to brush up on a single topic or listen through to get a deeper understanding of the often mucky world of American politics.

This is an essential volume for understanding the background to the 2016 presidential election. But it is also an audiobook that transcends the season. It's truly for anyone who wants to know more about the issues, which are perennial issues that will continue to affect our everyday lives.

should be mandatory for every person on this earth

it is an absolute marvelous book that breaks down some of the most complex arguments! it also does a fantastic job to be unbiased and show arguments from both sides no matter how controversial they may be. also the sheer number of topics in this book is mind-boggling!
if you are sick and tired of feeling manipulated or being tricked by any media or political commentator I beg you to read this book.

Very unbiased, but a little confusing

This was a good informational read, but I think the person reading could have taken a few more pauses that would make it easier to understand when one topic was ending and another one was beginning. Overall a good read with a lot of important information. The author did a great job staying unbiased.

Informative!

Provides a decent background on political issues surrounding public praise and criticism without bias. Clearly points out popular and unpopular opinion between the political parties. Professionally and clearly narrated.

less fact based and more opinion based

like the title says it's a little bias, but still good information. I recommend the read.

Excellent Book

Great overviews of important issues in American Politics. Very informative and well structured with regards content.
