Great book for intro classes....

I really enjoyed this book because it provided a thorough background of the formation of United States government. The saying "history repeats itself" is completely true because the problems that the Bush administration is experiencing are similar to those of the Cleveland and the Roosevelt administrations. This book really helps to put it all into perspective. It's an easy read and I would recommend it for college level political science, public administration and government intro classes.
