Herbert J. Storing's Complete Anti-Federalist; hailed as "a civic event of enduring importance" (Leonard W. Levy; New York Times Book Review); indisputably established the importance of the Anti-Federalists' writings for our understanding of the Constitution. As Storing wrote in his introduction; "If the foundation of the American polity was laid by the Federalists; the Anti-Federalist reservations echo through American history; and it is in the dialogue; not merely in the Federalist victory; that the country's principles are to be discovered."This one-volume edition presents the essence of the other side of that crucial dialogue. It can be read as a genuine counterpart to the Federalist Papers; as an original source companion to Storing's brilliant essay What the Anti-Federalists Were For (volume I of The Complete Anti-Federalist; available as a separate paperback); or as a guide to exploring the full range of Anti-Federalist writing. The Anti-Federalist makes a fundamental source of our political heritage accessible to everyone.

Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Buyers and Sellers beware of misprinted copies!By Zachary W. SilviaA.L. Oppenheim's work is certainly outdated in some respects but his work remains a starting point for any serious student of Assyriology. Those who seek a more recent overview might want to turn to Snell's 'Life in the Ancient Near East'; for a review of social life; or Khurt's 'Ancient Near East' for history. Yet two stars given because the importance of this work should not be understated.But this review is less about Oppenheim's work and more about the University of Chicago's revised 2nd edition (1977). Buyers and sellers beware that a number of these books have significant errors in publishing that make the text impossible to read. After page 48; in the middle of chapter one; the text begins again from page 17 (the introduction). All of the introduction is reprinted as well as all of chapter one up to page 48. Then the text jumps to page 81 and all of pages 49-80 are completely missing.It was quite frustrating to realize this only after reading the first 48 pages then having to purchase a new copy and throw this edition in the recycling bin.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. good bookBy vampire28good on the subject of a long lost culture0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
