This book takes what was an extremely volatile issue at the time, and what is likely to be seen by many students now as confusing, and leads the reader clearly through each of the chain of events that led to the Supreme Court decision Bush v. Gore. The explanations are clear. There are enough photos, inserts and quotations and excerpts from primary source documents to keep the material interesting. A timeline of events and rulings, a glossary, and additional resources are included.
