This was a great book that I would recommend for anyone pursuing a professional career and it doesn't matter in what field of work. There is politics in everything!!

Had to have this book for class. I am grateful for the opportunity to get my books through Amazon, this has been an immense help with cutting expenses while going to college. The shipper got the book to me in record time and I am pleased.
Truly unbiased. Anyone calling this biased is clearly a liberal. June 3, 2008

This book tells the truth and presents the facts and straight logic.
The liberals are the ones who call all truth and facts "biased," in order to advanced their liberal agenda. People on the left are always accusing the right of being biased, or something is biased toward them, etc. They do so because they tell a bunch of lies, and don't want people to discover them, so the liberals then twist the logic.
If you want a book on political science which just tells the truth and facts and straight logic, then this book is for you. However, if you fall into the liberal premises, then this book is definitely NOT for you.
 Not a Good Introduction August 6, 2009

First off, to be honest, I am not sure if the text is biased or not. I do recall a section where he states that the Republican Party is the party for rich white males and the Democrats are the "everyone else" category. He seems to insult both with fervor. As far as content and layout, the book is not great, and is downright confusing at times. The author mixes in gross generalizations and his own opinion into fact and tries to pass it off as such. He makes sarcastic comments such as posted by another reviewer about needing terrorist attacks and such to ignite interest in politics. I mean honestly, who really says things like that? And we should be learning from this guy? No thank you.
The only "good" parts of this book are the tips on writing papers which are actually helpful. Ironic that the best parts of the book are not actually about politics at all.
