It has to be said that, apart from the short intro and the text on the facsimile (and in the appendix), there is little straightforward information or analysis of the Constitution or even the process of its creation itself in ''Signing Their Rights Away'', although it's obliquely ever-present in biographical notes. Before picking up the book I expected more of a continuous narrative but I found the dip-in format surprisingly enjoyable.
If you happen to know somebody who has just became a freshly naturalised U.S. citizen ''Signing Their Rights Away''would make an ideal gift (assuming they feel like celebrating the fact in any way). A U.S. teen keen on history or anybody else with interest in Americana might also like it.
Recommended.
