The Bottom Line

If you are a wrestling fan hoping to find out about Jesse's wrestling career, this is not the book for you. For that information, I would check out his first book, I Ain't Got Time to Bleed. If you are an American citizen that is sick of partisan politics, the media, or just curious about how our government really works then this is a must-read book. I've read many political books from those on the right and the left. Unlike those books that hype their side and whitewash the other half the story, Jesse is the only politician that really tells it like it is.

Guide Review - Don't Start the Revolution Without Me! by Jesse Ventura

The book chronicles the adventures of Jesse Ventura and his wife as they travel to the Baja Outback. Along the way, they see things that make them think back to the things that Jesse dealt with during his political career. The book chronicles all the problems he faces as an independent fighting against the Democratic and Republican machines and how the media works in collusion with the two parties.

Unlike other political books I've read, Jesse has first-hand experience dealing with the worst that the political parties have to offer. He also has some incredible stories to tell from an international perspective as well including a trip to Cuba which included the CIA shadowing him without his permission.

With a presidential election coming up soon, it is very important for the American voters to know the truth about the two parties and how they conspire to keep it a two-party system, one more choice than what was in Iraq before we invaded them. Jesse gives some incredible analysis about the war and 9/11 that are sure to anger any free-thinking American that reads them. After reading this book, I totally understand why he refers to the two parties as the ReBloodlicans and DemoCrips.
