Neither right nor left but ahead is the only political course for maverick journalist Sam Smith in this entertaining, myth-busting guide to a new American crossover politics. Witty and profound, opinionated and informative, Smith has important things to say to politically disaffected Americans of all stripes. In chapters such as "How to stay alive - a poker player's guide to the environment," "How to find things out - despite the media and other obstacles," and "How to get along with other Americans - living next to 250 million people who aren't quite like you," Smith conjoins laughter and wisdom, education and provocation, giving us what we need to fix America and have a good time while we're at it.
