Great Book

This book does a great job of examining the odd quirks of this country as it works to rectify public opinion and public policy. John in a very thoughtful writer.

a good required reading

I actually had to read America the Unusual for my intro to american goverment class and I actually enjoyed the book a great deal because it dealt with issues that need to be looked to understand why our goverment the why it is and how our goverment is different from that of Western Europe even though many american came from those countries and some of the same thinkers influenced both American and Western European goverments.
