This review is from: American Government: Power and Purpose (Brief Tenth Edition - 2008 Election Update) (Paperback)
I needed this book for a class at college. The book was no longer available through the school bookstore and I needed the book as soon as possible. I was shocked to find that the book came after just 4 days of ordering it, and I had it just in time to get 100 on a reading assignment. Fantastic used book
