America - Citizen Guide to Democracy Inaction


A very clever book written by Jon Stewart and his friends of the Daily Show. This book is written using a high school history book layout and design which serves as a bitter irony to how biased history textbooks are. I am not sure everyone will get the educational humor regarding the context of how the book is setup. The book satirizes every aspect of a modern day history book. Not many people who have been out of school for awhile may get the layout of the book unless they have a student in high school.
The book is not for younger siblings, so make sure you keep the book secure in your house. I would recommend the book for those who like the Daily Show, irreverent humor, and political satire. A must read for teachers(past, present, and future), current students in high school and college, and parents.
