Sherrod Brown Did NOT Let Us Down

Former Congressman, now Senator, Sherrod Brown's book is an ensightful look into the inner-workings of the most powerful branch of our nation's government. As a U.S. History and Government teacher, I found it very informative. Senator Brown is one of the few politicians today who is in it for us - "We the people . . ." In short, he is a true public servant. I recommend this book highly!

Interesting Good Book

An honest Democrat tells it pretty much like it is. We need more books and politicians like these.

great story of how Congress works

This is a great book that takes us from Representative Brown's first election victory in 1992 that also gave us the first Dem. Prez in 12 years. After the Republicans Contract with America takeover of Congress, Brown gives a detailed account of Speaker Newt's agenda and the many mistakes he made. Brown does all of this in a very short 300 or so pages and I couldn't put the book down. I read the whole thing in just a few nights of before bed reading.
