Book Synopsis
A study of politics but also an analysis of different approaches to leadership, this is a portrait of a US Senate that no longer exists - one in which two leaders, while exercising partisan political responsibilities, could still come together to pass groundbreaking legislation - and a reminder of what is possible.

Trade Review
In today’s era of polarized politics, it seems extraordinary that the Senate’s majority and minority leaders could put aside party rivalries to work together for the common good, but Mike Mansfield and Everett Dirksen shaped partisanship to create room for significant compromise. Marc C. Johnson deftly reveals how they made that work." - Donald A. Ritchie, Historian Emeritus of the US Senate and author of Press Gallery: Congress and the Washington Correspondents
