Customer Reviews

Haven't used it yet, but it looks good

I'm planning on using this next year in my AP American Government class. It came highly recommended by another colleague.

An excellent supplement

This book is an excellent supplement to a history or political science textbook; it has 13 short chapters, each with a somewhat detailed look at one specific example of our political system in action. It is quite readable, in addition to being quite informative, and gives a reasonably unbiased look at many aspects of politics in our country. It wouldn't be very useful as a primer or as a primary textbook, but as a supplement, it is excellent.

Politics in Action

This book was recommended by the Prof. teaching a History course that I am auditing. It more than meets the needs for the purpose of the course, particularly in my case, where I cannot be as active a participant as the students.

bought for school

i bought this book for school purposes and it bring to life some information that people tend not to look at.
