Now in its Third Edition, this collection gathers together nearly four dozen classic and contemporary readings that provide essential insights into the workings of the American political and governmental processes.
This book was a major disappointment, and the title is very misleading. The book opens with a small handful of high quality, classical readings in American Politics. It then moves very quickly to low quality, derivative essays from the 1980's. Not only is the content of most of the essays nowhere near classic, but their recent publication dates would disqualify them from being classics even if the content was worth reading.
