Good survey text for comparative politics. It does need supplementing with other materials, and it is not footnoted, so some controversial statements cannot be validated by reference to the original source.
Read this for class. Quite liked it and enjoyed it! I'll have to admit though, it's mostly right wing rhetoric. But then again, aren't all books on politics? Oopsie daisies.
