More student friendly than ever, this tenth edition provides more student guidance and roadmapping than previous editions. It covers constitutional structure first and specific taxes second. Additionally, it includes new and extended coverage of developments in the state taxation of electronic commerce. A brief introduction to value-added taxes has also been added.

The history of Americäs tax system can be written largely as a history of Americäs wars. During World War II, Americans were urged to ration food, raise money, and accept higher taxes. After September 11, we were given tax cuts and asked to shop. Has the United States broken a noble tradition of fiscal sacrifice with the current, unprecedented wartime tax cuts, or are they the mark of new economic, and social forces at work? War and Taxes weighs the question by considering six conflicts that span the American Revolution to the present war in Iraq.
