Reviews

...[A] uniquely diverse range of relevant texts, chosen with discrimination and instructively arranged. Three fourths [of the texts] are given whole. Opposing, dissenting and minority voices are heard...a treasure trove of readings for students of political philosophy, ethics, law, political science, American government, criminal justice and international relations. - William Braithwaite, St. John's College
