Scandal! is an engaging, serious, and effective collection of essays that is appropriate for any level of political science class. This is not a book about scandals, but a group of scholars using scandals as a lens to examine mainstream American politics. The central theme that some might dismiss as peculiar or salacious is its greatest strength, for the use of popular subjects to show the complexities of American politics is clearly designed for a student population that increasingly rejects traditional academic monographs. Scandal! has many divisions (including theme, methodology, and time) so it can be used in the classroom in many different ways. Its lively subject matter is designed for instructors who want to engage their students in discussion, and it also provides a broad introduction to the field of political science.
