Must Read before Citizenship Exam,
By A Customer
This review is from: Twenty-Five Lessons in Citizenship: 1997-1998 (99th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is pretty detailed. The information here is more than enough t pass the interview. If you were to buy one book, this is the one you must get. I looked at couple of other books and they are not as effective as this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best citizenship test prep book!,
By Shaun Green (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twenty-Five Lessons in Citizenship (Paperback)
Twenty-five Lessons in Citizenship is the only book you need to buy to study for and pass the US citizenship test. The book provides all of the history and civics information on the exam.The lessons are organized in a logical and easy to understand format. At the end of each of the 25 lessons, the book provides the history and civics questions likely to be asked by the USCIS on test day. FYI- I just recently passed my examination and used this book as my only study guide. If you had to buy one book, this is the one. Good luck on your test!

Concise and to the point,
By
This review is from: Twenty-Five Lessons in Citizenship (Paperback)
Hennessey's book is a widely used text for anyone contemplating U.S. citizenship or preparing for a U.S Constitution exam. It offers concise explanations of U.S. history, our system of government and how it works, the Constitution, and a sampling of how state government works using California as an example. My only criticism is the author's vantage point. Why is it assumed that a citizen's primary function in our society is to engage in political activity? Nevertheless, Hennessey's book is highly recommended by this reviewer.
