No mere civics lesson this eye-opening book provides an insider s perspective on Congress matched with a professional historian s analytical insight. After a swift survey of the creation of Congress by the constitutional convention he begins to unscrew the nuts and pull out the bolts. What is it like to campaign for Congress?

He answers these questions and more explaining committee assignments and committee work the role of staffers and lobbyists floor proceedings parliamentary rules and coalition building. Ritchie explores the great effort put into constituent service-as representatives and senators respond to requests from groups and individuals-as well as media relations and news coverage.
