This is a fascinating and very timely book that tackles the question of why there was such an outpouring of liberal legislation in the mid-1960s, and why that outpouring stopped. Definitely a must-read for anyone who is interested in how legislation gets passed or how political consensus is built, although if you really want details of the inner workings of Congress, you'll have to go elsewhere.
