"Given the current political climate, I have found myself picking up and flicking through “The Prince” on more than one occasion over the past year. It seems manipulation and questionable political conduct is very much alive and well! A fascinating study and still wholly relevant."

A good entertaining political action/thriller. It has a strong cast and worth watching when you can.

I flew through the first book but found this one slow and very political. Not for me.

Kiefer sutherland
Good political drama
Edge of the seat political drama. Kiefer sutherland is by far the stand out in this show ( even through as my wife says, he is far to small to be the president lol)
  
Not strictly a Christian apologetics book, but partly a personal memoir and partly a defense of a kind of thoughtful and nuanced political conservativism influenced by Christian beliefs. Well worth the read, even if you don't find yourself in accord with all of Hitchens' political beliefs.

"for the way it showed her an example of an era and a political figure who acted sanely and in the best interest of others; a significant portrait of people in leadership roles who tirelessly devote themselves to progressive political change, and that change is possible."

Great political film
If even half of this film is true, what a remarkable move by John McCain picking Sarah Palin as his running mate in the 2008 US Presidential election.

The performances all around were amazing and the script is really the star. I don't usually like to bring up my political views, so I will just say the political tension and drama in this film make it worth watching on their own.
