Summary: Headed to the Hill? - Read This
Comment: Learn some of the ins and outs of Congress by following the narrative of one bill: the Family Medical Leave Act from the mid 80s to its passage in 1993.

Elving constructs a solid narrative in which the main character is actually a piece of legislation. From this unique vantage point, the reader captures the atmosphere and culture of Congress.

This book is easy stuff for Capitol Hill longtimers, but more importantly its not too difficult for newcomers who want to wade into congressional politics with a good yarn rather than a dry and dusty book of rules.

Recommended.
