At the World’s Mercy (1884)

Dr. Farmer provides an overview of the American system of government that is both hilarious and educational in this unique survey of American government. Farmer provides the reader with much of the same material that one might expect to find in a standard government text, but blends this educational material with his unique comedy genius. In The Outrageous Government of the United States, Farmer stakes his claim as the funniest professor of political science in the United States with a style that is witty and clever while simultaneously retaining its scholarly quality. For anyone who is interesting in understanding the workings of American government, or perhaps for those who are merely fatigued by political correctness, or for anyone who is merely interested in side-splitting humor, this book is a welcome refreshment. Who could have thought that American government could be this fun?
