Reviews

[Aletheia · Rating 4 out of 5]

A little outdated because of its time and I disagreed with some things and words used, but Charles Nordhoff is very dedicated to staying true to the Constitution. He's surprisingly somewhat open minded and I also learned that this was adopted as a high school textbook. An interesting read.
