Review(s):
"The Great American Citizenship Quiz presents [the] complete test used by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services . . . Additional background material, text of the original documents, quizzes, fun facts about American government and society, an index, and more round out this "must-read" for anyone aspiring to American citizenship--or interested in learning more about this proud nation. The Great American Citizenship Quiz is highly recommended." - Midwest Book Review
"While meant to be a fun and informative read, the third edition [of THE GREAT AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP QUIZ] has come out at a time when immigration and citizenship issues are at the forefront and at a time when the nation's education system may be failing large swaths of population as even native-born citizens have trouble with many of the questions." - Examiner
