A fine rendering that deserves a wide readership . . . Littlefield and Nexon reveal a man unafraid of fights but also one willing and able to reach across the aisle to colleagues who often opposed him but nearly universally respected him. . . . a penetrating exploration of how the legislative process works--or at least worked in the recent past., A fine rendering that deserves a wide readership . . . Littlefield and Nexon reveal a man unafraid of fights but also one willing and able to reach across the aisle to colleagues who often opposed him but nearly universally respected him. . . . a penetrating exploration of how the legislative process works-or at least worked in the recent past., This is a story of pitch perfect leadership from Senator Kennedy, of friendships forged across party lines, and of a time, unlike today, when members of both parties worked together on issues that made a difference in the lives of the American people. If it could happen then, it could happen again. . . . Historians, students, and general readers alike will read and revel in this splendid book for generations to come., Compelling . . . as a story about how the Senate operates -- well, how the Senate used to operate -- and a story about perhaps the greatest Senate lawmaker of the second half of the 20th century, Lion of the Senate succeeds, and with a writing style that will make it accessible beyond the specialists and political junkies. Along with Kennedy's masterful memoir and Adam Clymer's earlier superb biography of Kennedy the senator, it will add greatly to our understanding of this remarkable politician., For those who love politics and care about policy-and those looking for an account of how Washington used to work- Lion of the Senate -is pure catnip., For those who love politics and care about policy--and those looking for an account of how Washington used to work-- Lion of the Senate --is pure catnip.

Synopsis
"The best book I have read about the inner dynamics of the United States Senate." --Doris Kearns Goodwin Two top domestic policy advisors to Senator Edward Kennedy offer an insider's view of several remarkable years when Kennedy fought to preserve the Democratic mission against Newt Gingrich's Contract with America and a Republican majority in both houses--a story that has special resonance now as a resurgent Republican right once again controls Congress. In November 1994 the election swept a new breed of Republicans into control of the United States Congress. Led by Speaker Newt Gingrich, the Republicans were determined to enact a conservative agenda that would reshape American government. Had it not been for Ted Kennedy, they would have succeeded. In 1994, after defending his Senate seat against challenger Mitt Romney, Kennedy came back to Washington to find Democrats, including President Clinton, demoralized and leaning toward "compromises" that would adopt much of the Republican agenda. Undaunted, Kennedy pressed the agenda he would have championed had his party held power. He rallied the Democrats. He reached across the aisle to craft and pass key progressive legislation. And he stopped the Gingrich revolution in its tracks. Nick Littlefield and David Nexon tell this story of a bare-knuckled and sometimes hilarious fight in the United States Senate. It is a political lesson for all time.
