Is there any book in which the matters of racism, wars and ideals in the west are covered and actually approved by both conservatives and liberals?

On race - not a book per se, but anthologized in book form........I would say this is as close to an agreement point independent from politics. In fact, I'd argue that every American should have it as essential reading or "re-reading" in some cases - because a lot of "liberal" ideas towards race that we take for granted - including his criticism of/within the Black community - are discussed (and which often gets glossed over and forgotten now).   |

I think the Autobiography of Malcolm X is a spectacular book no matter where you are on the political spectrum.
