`Rob Singh has written a finely organized and informative textbook that combines to an unusually high degree analytical clarity, accessibility of style and form, and an enlightened scepticism about received wisdom. This is an admirable book′ - Nigel Bowles, St Anne′s College, Oxford
`Full of topical information and written with sparkling clarity, this book is a short-cut to excellence for the discriminating student′ - Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, Professor of American History, University of Edinburgh
`In American Government and Politics Robert Singh provides an excellent introduction to the subject. His approach is wide ranging, his examples well selected and his style is accessible. It will make an ideal book for introductory and more advanced university courses on US government. I strongly recommend the book to teachers and students′ - Desmond King, Mellon Professor of American Government, University of Oxford
`This is a well written and lively book that is an important addition to the ranks of textbooks on American politics. One of its many virtues is its recognition that the textbook today is useful to a student only if it links to the world of web-based resources. Highly recommended′ - Alan Ware, Worcester College, Oxford
