As a Christ-following, life-long Republican and business owner, I would likely be in the demographic of the least likely to recommend this book or to embrace any of Bernie Sanders' policies, but I found this book to be challenging at a personal level. I chose to read it because I disagreed with much of what I heard about Bernie's platform. I wanted to understand how a socialist sees the world and this book delivered exactly that. My own small business struggles with the rising costs of health insurance, my own kids struggle with the ongoing burden of student loans, even while they succeed in their careers. And I have to agree that the present trajectory of making it easier for the wealthy (individuals and corporations) to escape taxes and thereby a responsibility to society, is not right. I did not become a progressive or a socialist as a result of reading this book and have significant questions/objections to some of Bernie's answers to the problems, but I agree fully that what he raises are certainly the issues that campaigns and our government should be focused on. I read this book as some one deeply concerned about the trajectory of our nation. If you're already a progressive, you'll love this book because it provides all the ammunition you need to support your position. If, like me, you discounted Bernie during the campaign because of his platform policies, then I strongly urge you to read this book.

I couldn't put this book down, and am glad it arrived a few days after this miserable election. Senator Sanders is a highly principled, thoughtful and dedicated public servant, who has spoken to all of us as co-participants in a Democracy, not dupes to be swindled and manipulated. He gives a wonderful picture of Americans united in a struggle for humanity and our shared world, against forces of narcissism and obscene greed. If you want to get a real picture of the inherent goodness of a candidate, and the decency and intelligence of millions of people in the United States, this book is a must read. Senator Sanders has been the voice of millions of us, who have watched our nation descend into madness. With Climate Change looming, and our nation's, and other nation's assets being siphoned off for obscene individual wealth, it is very clear that our human survival is dependent on the engagement of each person in political processes, in the U.S., and all over the world. Taking Senator Sander's model, we can no longer afford worthless, contrived, public dialogue of distractions and manipulation: and must demand focus on issues central to human survival: our very lives depend upon it. Senator Sanders is a rare person, unmotivated by personal greed, whose nobility and strength of character outshine anyone else in public life. He is telling us the truth, and he is shining a spotlight on the ways in which our nation is rapidly deteriorating, and is calling us forth to fight for our country and for goodness and decency in the world.

Make no mistake, Bernie Sanders is a working politician and senator, and never was that more clear than while reading his book 'Our Revolution.' In it, about one-third is devoted to his experience in the 2016 campaign for President, and the remaining bulk of the book is a detailed summary of his views on important issues affecting Americans, policies and laws he has introduced or supported to try to solve those issues, and how we can better address them in the future.
So let's be clear: this is not a book to be read if you're looking for scandal, or sensationalism, or gossip, or even entertainment. Sanders takes the issues facing America seriously, as he believes we should too. This is underscored by the final main section of the book, which takes to task most of corporate mainstream media, and how it approaches politics with an eye towards making it entertaining or highlighting the spectacle of it, rather than focusing on the issues and problems at hand.
Sanders' message is consistent and clear - the major issues in America of income, gender, and racial inequality, of global climate change, of broken justice and health care and immigration systems, of a media run more by corporations seeking profit than by journalists seeking truth, are difficult and troubling. They are not easy to solve, but with hard work, dedication, and cooperation, they can be overcome.
That's not to say that 'Our Revolution' is a boring book at all. The section focused on the 2016 presidential race, as seen from Bernie's unique perspective, was both eye-opening and interesting. Told in a no-frills, point-by-point style, Sanders goes through the ideas that sparked the possibility of a little-known senator from Vermont challenging the political establishment, and very nearly achieving one of the greatest upsets in modern history. Even told without flourish, this is an exciting story in itself, and an inspiring one.
The rest of the book is detailed and intricate in its descriptions of issues and policies in America - some might even call it "wonky," which isn't entirely off the mark. Sanders is, after all, somewhat of a political wonk, and he cares about the details both in the shape of the issues and the policies and ideas that could solve them. That care shows throughout this book.
And occasionally, through all the descriptions of issues and discussions of policy, Sanders' voice really shows through. His thoughts on the political establishment's insistence that "America is broke" and can't afford the kinds of programs he supports? "Baloney." His response to those who say that renewable energy tax credits distort the energy market? "What a load of crap." Of course, he quickly follows up with an explanation of the finer points, but in those moments you can clearly hear Sanders' voice speaking clearly - it's not fancy, it's not poetry, but it is honest, plain talk. In these moments, you definitely know exactly what Sanders thinks, and how he feels.
In 'Our Revolution,' Bernie Sanders lays out a reasonable and easy-to-follow plan for how he would address the major issues he sees in America. But make no mistake, despite the reasonable prose, Sanders is angry. He's angry about the levels of poverty and income inequality in America, he's angry about racial injustice, he's angry about what we're doing to the environment, and he's angry about the corporate conglomeration of media that makes it more and more difficult for voices like his to be heard on the world stage.
In 'Our Revolution,' and in his campaign for president, Sanders takes that anger and transforms it into a movement for positive change in America, and in the world.
So let's be clear: this is not a book to be read if you're looking for scandal, or sensationalism, or gossip, or even entertainment. Sanders takes the issues facing America seriously, as he believes we should too. This is underscored by the final main section of the book, which takes to task most of corporate mainstream media, and how it approaches politics with an eye towards making it entertaining or highlighting the spectacle of it, rather than focusing on the issues and problems at hand.

Why you should get involved in politics, in one book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2018Verified Purchase
I'm a Brit who became entrigued with Senator Sander's entry into the 2016 Presidential campaign when i first heard about it in April 2015. Weirdly I was someone who actually knew about him and his place in American politics before running. But after reading his positions and his arguments for his positions, it actually helped inform a lot of my political views, which I have held for the past few years, and faced off with people in various debates.
Whilst the first half of the book is an autobiography, the second half is essentially "The Democratic Socialist Manifesto". Unlike the work of Marx and Engels in the 1800's, helped by modern statistics and data availability Sanders offers his take on the current American political landscape, and how a very small number of vastly wealthy individuals have huge sway over public policy. That part of the book, I would encourage everyone to read, because its shocking hearing all of it (even as someone who heard it a hundred times watching his campaign).
Even though i'm a Bernie fan, I do have one issue with the book-which is that the autobiography section just wasn't long enough for my liking. A lot of the stories in there were great-for example, explaining his route to becoming mayor of Burlington, or his statewide journey's to determine whether he should run for President. But a lot of the younger stories felt a bit rushed. Some of his experiences as a kid growing up in Brooklyn. Some of his time spent at college. Some of his time spent in various jobs (e.g. teacher)-i felt probably had a big impact on his political views, but had very little page space backing them up.
Despite this tiny bug-bear, overall I would strongly recommend this book-ESPECIALLY if you are fan of Senator Sanders, but even if you aren't and are curious about him (which you should be)

Being a Brit I never thought I would be buying a political book about an American politician - but I was so inspired by Bernie's campaign I felt compelled to do so. First half of the book is an informative account of the man's history, the details of his campaign and what he stands for. The second half gives details of what HE thinks is necessary to "make America great again". If you like Bernie, you'll love this book.

if I was an American citizen Bernie would have my vote. it’s a shame there is no-one in the uk with this sort of insight. many of the issues he discusses are the same in the uk but we suffer the same problem - the issues are not newsworthy and there are too any vested interests in maintaining the status-quo.

Every adult/student in America, if not beyond need to read this book. I had no idea the US was in such crisis but I now also understand why I had no idea. As a Brit I prey that the American people can save their democracy, they deserve it. Failure to bring the billionaires under control will cast a bleak shadow across the world.
