Acclaimed when it originally appeared for its gripping portrait of the catastrophic failure of Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans to stop Donald Trump¿s assault on our democracy, the updated edition carries the story forward into the Biden¿s presidency and efforts to restore bipartisanship in bitterly contentious times.

The Last Great Senate is a narrative history of the Senate from 1977 through 1980, the closing years of the progressive Senate of the 1960s and 1970s which compiled a record of accomplishment unmatched in the country's history. The book recounts legislative battles which present remarkable case studies of the lawmaking process in action.
