  • Notes

    • "Was Reagan right to fire the striking Air Traffic Controllers? Was attacking Iraq the best way for Bush to solve this Middle East conflict? Did the Clinton-backed Brady Bill go far enough to protect lives, or was it an infringement on Constitutional rights? This one-stop resource for debating the central issues that shaped the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton presidencies provides the text of pro and con primary documents from the presidents and their opponents, plus helpful analysis to put the issues in context. With this work, students will be able to debate the issues and apply critical thinking skills to their understanding of contemporary American politics and government. The work examines a set of issues and initiatives central to each president’s time in office and presents issue-specific introductions that place the issues in political context."–BOOK JACKET
