Philip J. Gimson, an occasional author and former journalist, has penned a timely and thought-provoking book entitled "STOP PRETENDING, AMERICA! An outsider's guide to healing the sickness in democracy and media". This non-fiction work is a departure from his previous novel, "Paper Story", and is a testament to his versatility and creative growth as an author.
The book is a bold and unflinching examination of America's current political climate, with a particular focus on the alleged widespread election fraud of 2020. Gimson doesn't shy away from holding the media accountable, challenging them for their role in shaping public opinion and potentially influencing the outcome of the election. This is not a book for the ambivalent or complacent; it demands engagement and action from its readers, regardless of their political affiliations.
What sets this book apart from others is Gimson's unique perspective as an outsider. His experiences as a reporter-editor, and his father's escape from Nazi Germany's collapsed democracy, have shaped his views on the American government. His insights are sharp and his arguments are compelling, making for a book that is as enlightening as it is provocative.
Gimson's writing style is accessible and engaging, with a clear and concise prose that makes complex political issues easy to understand. His passion for preserving American democracy is palpable, and his dedication to this cause is evident in his volunteer work with Candorful.org, a non-profit organization that provides career and interview coaching for active and retired military personnel and their spouses.
The benefits of reading this book are manifold. Not only does it provide a fresh perspective on the state of American democracy, but it also offers practical tools for readers to challenge and question the information they are presented with. In an age of fake news and media bias, this book serves as a much-needed guide for discerning truth from falsehood.
In conclusion, "STOP PRETENDING, AMERICA! An outsider's guide to healing the sickness in democracy and media" by Philip J. Gimson is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of American democracy. It is a wake-up call for all of us to stop pretending and start acting to preserve the democratic values that define this nation.
With a rating of 9.5 out of 10, this book is highly recommended for its insightful analysis, engaging writing style, and practical guidance. It has the potential to reach a wide audience and to inspire meaningful change in our society.
