Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-19 00:00:00 Alexander Hannon Excellent presentation of various major issues that affect the United States in the form of mini-debates. Each topic includes a summary explanation of the main issues involved in the case and then an expert presents a "pro" and another presents a "con" arguement. The issues were well chosen and the experts that wrote on each side of each issue were qualified and articulate. It's a great introduction to U.S. policy issues and current affairs. The publisher needs a good proofreader, however. The typos and grammatical problems became distracting.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-11 00:00:00 Dean Lettera I read this book in order to prepare for teaching the Extempers at South for various issues. I really enjoyed it; it has a series of scholarly or legal documents on either side of a number of US social and political debates current in the news. The sources they choose are pretty solid overall, both in content and in readability. The best part of it, is that each issue selected not only addresses the individual particulars, but puts it in context of wider concerns, such as federalism, civil liberties, diplomatic solvency, and so on.
