What you should know about politics, but don't, by Jessamyn Conrad

 

This is an informative and interesting exploration of the political issues that divide and unite the country, with chapters devoted to elections, the economy, foreign policy, the military, health care, energy, the environment, civil liberties, culture wars, socioeconomic policy, homeland security, education, and trade. Even if you're a news junkie, you may still learn things from this book. This is the 4th edition, which was updated to bring it up to 2020, but it doesn't go deeply into personalities of current politicians, or even into recent changes in political directions, so it would be best used as an introduction to the issues in a historical sense.
