Each issue is based on reliable and verifiable facts not personal opinion and the issues are explained in simple, easy-to-understand terms.

…. If you are fed up with lies and half-truths and want real answers, Terry AmRhein obliges in the pages of "Democracy on the Edge: A Discussion of Political Issues in America"….
Charity Roswell-Stanbury, Creator of On My Kindle, April 03, 2016
…. Having read and reviewed a book earlier in my career in which the author misrepresented his biased and unsupported views as fact, I appreciate the opportunity to feature an author who did his homework.

Wow! Who Knew! … Before reading this excellent book, I must admit I was very naive. I never knew about the PACs and Superpacs massive amount of capital distorting the political process …. This book hits you right between the eyes with its directness and accuracy….
Jim D’s Review, July 2015,
This book was well written and a very informative and interesting read. Although I did not agree with all the authors' views and opinions, he did provide evidence to support them and provided much food for thought. He also injected some personal humor which lightened the reading of what I usually consider somewhat dry material.

If you want a good overview of some major issues confronting the U.S. this book is for you.... his writing reflects not only the results of a commendable research effort but also an effort to distill complex issues into more easily understood terms for those who may lack technical expertise in many areas.
