Reviews

Gr 9 Up-Despite the broad title, readers will definitely feel that they are reading a summary of Bill Clinton's presidential blunders since 1994 when Kenneth Starr was first appointed as a special prosecutor. There are some references to other scandals-Grover Cleveland, Richard Holbrooke, and Michael Espy are mentioned, and an article defends David Lloyd George, one of the most effective prime ministers in Britain's history. Still, the dominant subject remains Clinton. A 46-page case study is devoted to whether his impeachment was justified. In the familiar "Opposing Viewpoints" format, questions of political corruption, the power of money, and the sexual morality of elected officials are addressed. An important component of the volume is the last chapter, "What Reforms Can Prevent Political Corruption?," which looks at the hotly debated independent counsel law and how election campaigns are financed. A solid addition for the social-issues curriculum.-Joanne K. Cecere, Highland High School, NY
