Publisher Description

A hilarious, mega-bestseller from the Emmy-winning, Oscar-hosting, Daily Show-anchoring Jon Stewart that finally answers the question -- what is American democracy?

Jon Stewart, host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show, and his coterie of patriots deliver a hilarious look at American government . . . Termed a "political king-maker" by Newsweek, and "the Dan Rather of infotainment" by Vanity Fair, Jon Stewart, along with the writers of The Daily Show, combines his riotous wit and razor-sharp insight in this hilarious book. American-style democracy is the world's most beloved form of government, which explains why so many other nations are eager for us to impose it on them, but what is it exactly?

In America (The Book), Jon Stewart and The Daily Show writing staff offer their insights into our unique system of government, dissecting its institutions, explaining its history and processes, and exploring the reasons why concepts like "One man, one vote," "Government by the people," and "Every vote counts" have become such popular urban myths.

    Amazing book, but “Teacher’s Notes” detract

    First of all, I adore this book. It’s hilarious. But I own the earlier physical version of this book, without the “Teacher’s Notes,” and their addition in this version does nothing but make a great book worse. All the notes do is point out that various jokes aren’t factual. No duh! It’s a satirical take on an American history textbook. Of course the jokes aren’t always factual. I wish Apple sold the older edition without the notes. Other than that, I absolutely recommend this and the sequel, Earth: The Book.
