Description
Guided by the belief that students must first understand how American government developed to fully understand the issues facing the United States in the 21st century, of American Government offers the strongest coverage of history and current events of any brief college textbook devoted to the fundamentals of American politics. This 14-chapter best-selling book provides the historical context students need to understand American government and the most crucial and controversial issues affecting the nation, but in an abbreviated format. Essentials of American Government covers the core concepts students must learn, and it has been extensively revised to include the most current coverage of the 2006 midterm elections, the second George W. Bush administration, the Iraq War, and controversies related to the conduct of the war on terrorism. The new edition also emphasizes the extent to which shared American values shape and affect policy and influence key political conflicts.
