5.0 out of 5 stars READABLE historical perspective on American social policy
As an undergraduate social work student, I dreaded my policy class. I thought it would be so dry. However, I found myself getting caught up in the narrative of this book.

As an undergraduate social work student, I dreaded my policy class. I thought it would be so dry. However, I found myself getting caught up in the narrative of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Deal Ever, March 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This has been my best buy on Amazon ever!!!
The book that cost over $60 in my school bookstore cost me only $12 for a brand new book. My favorite part of the whole experience was breaking the binding!!!
