Book Review

Judge Andrew P. Napolitano’s book, Lies the Government Told You, is not one I would ordinarily pick up and read. I’m not into politics as heavily as I ought to be. His perspective is unique to me in that he sits on the bench and has a different perspective than the typical politician.

It is an interesting read for a person who wants to join the political discussion, but didn’t receive much information in the American educational system. I know (ashamedly) little about the inner workings of our government and politics – that is, until I read Napolitano’s work.

It would also be important to follow this read up with someone from a different perspective that does not lean to the right. Overall, the deep content and scholarly work is a good read. Students in American government classes ought to add this to their reading list… and then carry the discussion to the classroom.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review.
