This book is not about America, and not directly about politics or political polarization. It's a well-known conflict resolution book. I included it because I think it might help some people see our divides through a different and more healthy lens.
This book uses an engaging fictional premise to walk through some important points about resolving conflict.

From Zachary's list on healing the political divides in America.
This book is the chronological follow on, but actual precursor, to Leadership and Self-Deception.

From Paul's list on what I wish my business students would read.
Whether we are dealing with interpersonal or intergroup relationships it is easy to slip into an oppositional perspective when it comes to others. Regardless of what the sources of difference are, this book provides insights that can help anyone communicate more productively and lead successfully. I also love the narrative style in which the insights are imparted.
From Bradford's list on communicating across differences.
