Give Me Liberty! by Foner is rooted in our nation's roots and traces its historic accomplishments to the American revolution and the guaranty of freedom found in our Bill of Rights, including the constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. The book concludes with an assessment of today's political atmosphere and its perils, and an historical overview of our nation and its checks and balances system.

The author rightly points out that today our government has a lot more work to do than was done in the past to protect individual freedoms. The first chapter of the book is devoted to explaining how we got into our current mess, and how we got out. Part two examines the various systems of governance and how they have failed. The final chapter looks at how we can get out of our present predicament. The book is very useful as an educational manual for students, as it shows the history of government and highlights important debates and key documents that can serve as a textbook for students.
