Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Political Issues

Rating:
Summary: You Gotta Have an Opinion--and Then There's the Other Guy
Review: This is an excellent series. The arguments and counter-arguments have been put together very well. Sure, I disagree with at least 50%, but the fun is in seeing each side make a valid point (and get demolished by the other side!). The editors, Feingold & McKenna, have consistently done a good job with this series. Worth buying just for fun, and invaluable if you are a student (enrolled or otherwise) of Political Science!

Summary: Taking Sides: I'll Take the Whole Book!
Review: This series of books is a must for anyone interested in modern political thought. It is as interesting as "Crossfire" with more substance and depth. The editors' political experience shows in the selection of authors and pieces chosen. Though I'm sure the editors have their own opinions, both sides of each issue are well represented. They have carefully culled differing points of view from intelligent people who make their arguments persuasively. Highly recommended.
