Learn & Understand How US Government Works

The book does a great job of giving you a tremendous amount of content in a way that is easy to follow. It also gives little bits of history to help make the content easier to comprehend and understand.

Now that most schools longer require Civics classes, every parent should make this required reading (listening) for their kids.

Great Book

I like how the book made learning about American government easy to understand. It was very detailed and went to the lowest levels government.

Great Book

This book kept my interest. If it had been paper I would say that I could not put it down. In fact I started and finished the book in one day that is how interesting it is.

Great review of our governmental structure

Insightful and well narrated. I liked the author’s historical account of how our government came to be structured in the way it currently is. Understanding the evolution of our government as it adapted to social changes and maturation of our population’s beliefs — along with technological capacities that made possible new opportunities — is helpful as we consider new adaptations. Highly recommended for all American citizens — and others who want to speak knowledgeably on the subject.

Content.

Very succinctly the book covers concepts sufficiently to follow up with further research if necessary. An eye opener for
many subjects.
