Review
The best selection yet of readings necessary for an introduction to American politics and highly appropriate for undergraduates. -- Mark P. Petracca, University of California, Irvine
This is an excellent book; presenting the issues before the "debate" from several different perspectives is a fine idea. -- Gloria T. Cohen-Dion, Bloomsburg University --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: The Enduring Debate: Classic and Contemporary Readings in American Politics, Fifth Edition (Paperback)
Required for school. Not worth the paper printed on, not supprising considering book has no realistic concept of cost. Had to go and read Wealth of Nations after to regain some of the brain cells lost.
