This extremely brief introduction to American government has been a long-time student favorite because of its lively, no-nonsense approach to core topics. Using a dynamic game metaphor, the text covers four governmental players, as well as the constitutional rules of the game. It ends by examining rival theories on who wins and who loses in the American political system. Written to engage students and offer instructors great flexibility, Wasserman's text covers every needed term and topic behind the political news of the day. In 300 pages, a class learns what they need to know and likes it.
