What are your favorite, most moving political books?

I really liked Orwells Animal Farm and Huxleys Brave New World. I’m not sure if you are looking for fiction with a political theme or not.

“No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt”

“Team of Rivals. The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln”

Both by Doris Kearns Goodwin

She does meticulous research and is a terrific writer. She has written several other biographies as well but these two were my favoritea. I can’t remember which one won a Pulitzer.

The Jungle – Upton Sinclair

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It’s full of political references, but is told from a child’s perspective. Therefore the story sounds more like a child reporting events from her life than a grow-up trying to brainwash anyone into believing any political belief. The story flows naturally and beautifully.

Atlas Shrugged

Thanks, everyone! I look forward to checking these out. Yes, I agree that Persepolis was wonderful.

John Adams by David McCullough
