...I have noticed that past winners going back to 2003 included:

2003 - Al Franken, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

2004 - Bill Clinton, My Life

2005 & 2007 - Barack Obama, Dreams From My Father & The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream

2006 & 2015 - Jimmy Carter, Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis & A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety

2008 - Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth

2010 - Jon Stewart, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Presents Earth (The Audiobook)

2013 - Stephen Colbert, America Again: Re-becoming The Greatness We Never Weren't

So, 9 of the last 13 years, liberal, politically oriented works won. The Recording Academy leans pretty left.
