looking for book(s) with both leflt/right on american politics for foreign friend

Uh, this might be too fringe or socially conservative, but it just came out and it’s #1 on Amazon’s list: Truth Bombs: Confronting the Lies Conservatives Believe

It gives a good overview of what the hell is going on in the Republican Party and American politics, from a midwest conservative perspective. It has a lot of footnotes (facts to back up claims), too, though it’s written in informal tone so it’s not too dry. The author is (obviously) biased but he paints a socio-cultural high-level view of American politics.

It’s not the book that you would read to understand fiscal conservatism or the roots of liberty. It’s the book you’d read to understand “wtf is going on in America?” The author has been in radio media for years and read the audio book, so it goes down well.
