Books on Politics

The world has produced several great writers who have influenced a whole generation and continue to inspire the coming generations by their writings. Their works vividly portray the picture of society and subtly bring out the ills it. The writers have played a progressive part in describing the social and political part of society. Some of the best political books are not explicitly about politics. But some of the books deal directly with governments and politicians, with laws and the ways they’re made or abused, and with the peril and promise inherent in every governing body. Some of them use adventure, parable, or satire to subtly explore our political system with a depth that wouldn’t be possible any other way. 
 
Che Guevara
The book “Che Guevara” is a compilation of radical writings and speeches by Che Guevara. This is one of the most important collections of writings by Che Guevara and includes important texts on Guerrilla Warfare, Politics and Revolution. Ernesto "Che" Guevara was a physician, author, a diplomat a military theorist and most of all, a major figure of the Cuban revolution. Anatol Lieven writes a book Pakistan, A hard country. He writes in his new book, that Pakistan is divided, disorganized, economically backward, corrupt, violent, unjust, often savagely oppressive towards the poor and women, and home to extremely dangerous forms of extremism and terrorism. His new book, Pakistan: A Hard Country, offers a unique blend of historical, political, and anthropological insight into the country. Some other popular books on Politics are Guilt, Blame, and Politics by Allan Levite , Lenin: A Biography by Robert Service, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich : A History of Nazi Germany  by William L. Shirer.

John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty presented one of the most eloquent defenses of individual freedom in nineteenth-century social and political philosophy and is today perhaps the most widely-read liberal argument in support of the value of liberty. Mill’s passionate advocacy of spontaneity, individuality and diversity along with his contempt for compulsory uniformity and the despotism of popular opinion has attracted both admiration and condemnation. Bush at War Bob Woodward reveals in stunning detail how an untested president with a sweeping vision for remaking the world and war cabinet members often at odds with each other responded to the September 11 terrorist attacks and prepared to confront Iraq.
