“In this third edition of West Virginia Politics and Government is extensive in its reach, covering every facet of government in the state. It addresses such recent—and important—developments in the state as the opioid crisis, the coronavirus pandemic and the response to it, the teacher strike and the establishment of charter schools, and the quest to improve broadband internet access. I found the descriptions of policy disputes—including those involving mountaintop-removal mining, fracking, and the history of the coal industry and its labor wars—to be especially well done.”—Louis Jacobson, senior correspondent for PolitiFact and former deputy editor of Roll Call
