This book divides the time period since the colonization of America to the present into five parts; within each section, Dolbeare and Cummings have selected writings, letters, transcripts of speeches, and various types of text that they believe illustrate some aspect of the foundations of American political thought. Additionally, they also provide a breakdown of the writings by subjects like "Anarchism, Civil Disobedience, and Cynicism", "Conservatism", "Democracy", and so on. Each chronological section is headed by an extensive original essay discussing political developments in that time period. Some of the material will be familiar to anyone with a high school education; contrariwise, even the most voracious and eclectic reader will likely find something new here, which means that this book could serve as an useful supplement to either undergraduate or graduate courses.
