Synopsis

This book describes how America has become more polarized than at any time since the American Civil War . The book is timely because we are currently enduring the most divisive presidential election campaign of the last 100 years. The author calls on his first hand experience in over four decades of experience as a senate staff member and then as a Washington lawyer-lobbyist. Since there is no magic formula for the bipartisan functioning of government, he relies on the examples of some great mentors he has had. These include Senator Robert Byrd, who served as Senate Majority Leader, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, And Senator Herman Talmadge, who brought him to Washington, DC. He relates his experiences working in three presidential campaigns, one that was a winning campaign and two that were losing campaigns. during his career he has gotten to know personally ad well as politically leaders in both the senate and the House.
