Reseña del editor:

For undergraduate introductory courses in American Government and Congress, and graduate courses in Legislative Processes. An insider account of how Congress works, this book contains insightful first person reminisces, from former congressional fellows and staffers, about the ins and outs and dos and don'ts of everyday life on Capitol Hill. Each student-friendly essay focuses on one or more aspects of congressional controversy experienced by the writer, and places the "story" in the broader historical and conceptual framework necessary for understanding how Congress and its members function.
