Indeed, voters now seem more concerned with which of the two national parties will be in power across all levels of government as opposed to which candidate will represent them individually. Nationalized Politics asks and answers the question, "how has nationalization influenced elections across different political eras?"

Confessions of a Public Defender describes the experiences of a criminal lawyer. The events and the descriptions in this book are derived from real courtroom experiences. The cases and outcomes are part of David Carson Futch's life experience that he wished had been available to him before law school.

Carson begins this third volume by diagnosing the root causes which eventually gave rise to sectionalism as well as regional differences and changes, the election of 1824, the Adams administration, and the emergence of two parties.
