Great Decisions: 2012, by the Foreign Policy Association (oversize pamphlet, 120 pages, $1.50)
This is my copy of the $25 Great Decisions booklet. I couldn't make it to the discussions, so I am offering the booklet to you. Sorry, there are markings through the first two chapters, so the price is only $1.50.
If you haven't been part of a Great Decisions group, give it a try. The people in the group read a chapter in the book, then get together to discuss it. Usually the group contains both liberals and conservatives, so you can either give your opinion, or sit back and watch the sparks respectfully fly! At the end of the meeting people may not agree, but most by then have a slightly different take on the issue. Look for this on the new non-fiction table, avail. 3/17. (Am. History)
