 Very lucid, thorough and enlightening lesson in US CivicsJun 22, 2010
By ChangYai
"stickyricechowda"
American Democracy would be strengthened if every American were encourage to read this book. Its contents and layout would greatly enhance the teaching of US history and government and make Americans remember not only what American democracy is but some idea (over time) how and why it developed as it did. This balanced book in semi-textbook style systematically lays out the foundations and development of the American nation's political structures and standards. This is the kind of book that might allow people to become more patriotic or at least more understanding about the merits and weaknesses of American government.
Each chapter provides not only insight but also paths to deeper understanding of our American laws but clues on where to look in order to gain further understanding.
I am no expert, but I have always had a deep appreciation for government, politics, law and history. This book amply provides a great starting point in all of these areas when it comes to understanding the government of the United States of America.

complete idiots guide to u.s. government & politicsApr 26, 2010
By Carlos j. negron carlito
this book should be used as a template for educators teaching civics.
all H.S seniors should be exposed to the contents of this book and hopefully we will have a more
intelligent generation than the one to which i unfortunately belong.
politics is one of my fortes and i can honestly say i learned things i did not know.

 Simple, Informative readJul 01, 2011
By brandyf
I purchased this book for several different reasons; first of all I have recently become enpassioned about politics but felt that I have been missing some of the fundementals. Secondly, I am recently changed my major to Political Science-I am taking my first PoliSci class in the fall. I felt it was important to master some of the basics before attending class.
This book has been perfect. It is easy to follow and a fairly simple read. Yet it is quite informative. The content has really helped to clarify some basic concepts. I like the fact that it is in a summary format.
I would recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a straight forward approach to government history and structure.
Quick coverage of a big subjectFeb 08, 2012
By John Marks
I wanted my son to know more about government because he kept asking questions and....welll...dont think less of me but I really did not want to answer so many questions. So I bought the book and gave it to him. Of course the questions only increased but this time he knew enough to ask questions that provoked my interest so we had a good discussion over several days. If it gives him an interest in what is going on in the government then it was well worth the price.
Worth reading!Jan 20, 2012

I liked the fact that this book was written in summary format. It is easy to read and informative. I also felt that the book was not biased the way a lot of political books are. Interesting to read. I would recommend it.
