Reviews

I first heard EdErlerexplain, succinctly, the foundation and meaning of American citizenship when I was a student. SincethenI've studied, and learned from, all of Ed's writings on the subject. This is not just Ed's definitive statement on the subject; it is THE definitive statement on the subject. Case closed.
