The Dance of Legislation by Eric Redman

In it, Eric Redman draws on his two years as a member of Senator Warren Magnusons staff to trace the drafting and passing of a piece of legislation S.4106, the National Health Service Bill with all the maneuvers, plots, counterplots, frustrations, triumphs, and sheer work and dedication involved.

"What Redman has written about the evolution of a health bill could be written about comparable constellations of personalities and pressures affecting an education or a housing or farm or tax billBut few writers have actually produced a book that has such a useful blend of information, self-deprecatory humor, and keen rendering of the distinctive atmosphere of Congress."

* New York Times Book Review *

"An outstanding book for undergraduates interested in politics."
