1.0 out of 5 stars This book lacks true political thought., November 5, 1999
By A Customer
The Great Issues of Politics by Leslie Lipson is of no use to any person trying to learn more about political science. Lipson writes likes a philosophy teacher. His rambling ideas and wordy paragraphs make the book extremely hard to comprehend. Reading is slow and tiresome as you trudge through the text trying to follow Lipson as he attempts to "psycho-analyze" the history of politics. My Intro to Political Science class used this book as our text and stuggled the entire semester to make heads-or-tails of it. It made even basic political science concepts hard to understand. It wasn't until our professor brought in Understading Politics: Ideas, Institutions, and Issues that we began to understand our course. This book was wonderful. It was straight forward and made learning so much easier.
