Annotation:
In this comprehensive look at the larger (and perhaps more representative) body of Congress, historian Robert Remini draws on the resources of the Library of Congress and includes many historical anecdotes to make dry history come alive as he explains the unique role that the House of Representatives has played in American history and life.||Remini shows how the House works, and how, in each historical epoch, it has forged a path for America while maintaining the essential checks and balances set forth in the Constitution. Remini includes sketches of the many larger-than-life figures who put their stamp on history, and the many contentious debates that somehow, against all odds, led to a consensus on budgets and legislation.

Praise
"[Mr. Remini] has written a highly readable and quite entertaining survey of American history as seen fro the floor of 'the people's House.'"
