The Chapo Guide to Revolution: A Manifesto Against Logic, Facts, and Reason is a 2018 satirical book by hosts of the American political humor podcast Chapo Trap House, published by Touchstone.[1] The book debuted at number 6 on the New York Times Best Seller list in the Hardcover Nonfiction section.[2][3]

## Content[edit]

The book deals with American history and capitalism, and "skewers" the two main American political parties.[1] It also features cartoons from Eli Valley. The book originally contained parodies of several comic strips, but they were cut for legal reasons.[1]

## Reception[edit]

The book received positive reviews in Salon, Paste, Newsweek and Harper's Magazine.[4][5][6][7] In a negative review for Politico, Bill Scher said The Chapo Guide to Revolution was possibly the "stupidest book ever written about socialism."[8]
