Signing Their Rights Away by Joseph D'Agnese, Denise Kiernan
5.0
First, let me confess that I heard about this book on Twitter and had the pleasure of arranging a Q & A session with the authors and my students about the content of this book. That being said, this review is completely unbiased.
Signing Their Rights Away is a history teacher's dream. This witty book gives the details about the Constitution, the Convention and the interesting men who signed the Constitution. No stone is left unturned and all of the signers innermost secrets are revealed. For the non-history lover, this book is a welcome introduction to the world of government and a funny way to be introduced to some incredible (and infamous) men. Since I teach middle school students, this isn't a book I could read aloud without editing some of the information regarding adultery and other scandalous habits. If I taught high school or college students, I would love to assign this text! I highly recommend this book and fully intend on purchasing a few copies for my history teacher friends for Christmas :)
