No Child Left Behind and the Transformation of Federal Education Policy, 1965-2005 (Studies in Government & Public Policy)
"In reader-friendly prose notable for its telling detail, McGuinn sketches the landscape, the actors, and the agendas that took America from 'A Nation sat Risk' to the world of No Child Left Behind. This is a must-read for those who would understand the federal role in school improvement and the road that lies ahead."
