A Retrospective Useful for Today

Zelizer has given a detailed account of how Congress works--and doesn't work--through an analysis of how Lyndon Johnson maneuvered while in Congress and while as President. In retrospect Congress often appeared as dead-locked as it is today. It's remarkable how much a collection of Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans resemble Tea Partiers today. The coalition could easily be identified as the Party of No.
The book is essential reading for any student of Congress, anyone interested in the life of L.B.J., and it may cheer up citizens despondent over what seems to be a hopeless Congress. Vital legislation was passed then under similar conditions so Zelizer offers hope for the next two years.
