An excellent primer by a lawyer, political wiz and PR practioner extraordinaire. I highly recommend it for those that didn't take government or civics in high school or college.

A must for anyone taking the Foreign Service Written Exam or an AP Government course in high school! Nick Ragone demystifies the inner workings of American government, and provides valuable insight to all those not from "inside the Beltway." He leaves nothing out and writes with clarity, depth and a good sense of humor. Highly recommended!

This is the sort of book I keep handy to answer any question that may come up about the US Govt. Easy to find answers, easy to read, yet thorough.
