100 Controversial Truths: About Politics and Culture in America

In this must-read, one of a kind political masterpiece, Doug Pancoast discusses a vast array of interesting and informative "truths" about controversial American political and cultural topics. The book is written in a uniquely and refreshingly conversational style that should make topics even as challenging as the U.S. healthcare system or the dangers of the U.S.' debt understandable and enjoyable to the common reader. Be prepared, though, because this book takes positions all over the political map and is sure to challenge just about everybody's current thinking on something.

100 Controversial Truths (About Politics and Culture in America) isn't like any other book on the market. Firstly, it's NOT a partisan book. Republicans and Democrats. Libertarians and socialists, Blacks and whites. Christians and atheists. Even men and women...everybody will find things in the book that they passionately agree with and others that they reject entirely. The number one theme of this book is that each group is partially right on some of the issues, but wrong on others. However, we must be willing to look at an issue with open minds and be honest about the real truths...even if they don't coincide with our normal biases. Perhaps this is finally the informative and entertaining political book that those towards the middle of the aisle have long been waiting for.

Furthermore, what really makes this book different from other political books is that even within individual chapters, people will find themselves passionately agreeing with certain parts of the chapter, while being horribly appalled at others. This book is truly all over the political and ideological map and will inform, entertain, and challenge virtually any reader interested in American politics and culture.
