Politics in Georgia

An Interesting Read

I had to read most of this book for a college poli-sci class. I found it an interesting insight into Georgia politics that gives a lot of unique facts that can be hard to find elsewhere. Being from Georgia, I found it an interesting read that (for a textbook) read fairly smooth and quickly. If you have to read this for a class it's not too bad but I wouldn't recommend it for just browsing (which is why I gave it four stars). Other than that it's a classic, solid textbook that is still up to date with most of the main characters in Georgia politics.
