Excellent Study Guide for the CLEP US Government Subject Exa,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Government (Paperback)
This was an excellent study guide for the CLEP subject exam. It covered all subjects on the exam in a concise manner, easy to understand, not too wordy, yet complete. Also, a great value. Gives a good basic understanding of American Government.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An inexpensive, yet relatively complete introduction.,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Government (Paperback)
A good text for an introductory course in American government. The authors pack a surprising amount of information into each of their chapters. While this text needs to be supplemented for use at the college level, it provides a very good framework and is quite well-organized. For the price, it is a very good value
