While I don't normally gravitate toward political nonfiction books, this one caught my eye, and I'm very happy that I decided to dive in.

This book "dumbs down" some of the most confusing aspects of politics and explains why each political act is impactful. It's a great read for those who don't believe that politics affects their lives in any way.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

I think that this book was not only enjoyable and informative, but an essential read for all American. The information in this book should be known by all. I am someone who is fascinated by American history and I have ready many books on the subject, but I cannot believe how much this book taught me. It caused me to examine what I thought I knew and look at American history in a completely different lens. I loved how this book was written. It was interesting, but now boring. It was informative, but not elitist. It flowed well and was concise and to the point. I think the authors did a great job with the subject matter. I truly think that this should be required reading in schools. I would definitely recommend this book.
