Like No Other Time: The 107th Congress and the Two Years That Changed America Forever

The 107th Congress faced a time unlike any other in American history. The contested Presidential election, 9/11, the anthrax attacks, corporate scandals, and the predetermined moves towards war with Iraq - all these tested the mettle of the Senate, and especially the strength of Senator Tom Daschle, the Senate's Democratic Minority Leader. Daschle used his privileged position in the service of his country to push for a principled, sane approach to both domestic and foreign policy. In this book, he pulls no punches as he describes his working relationships with President Bush, Trent Lott, John McCain, Arlen Specter, and Ted Kennedy. Daschle puts the 107th Congress in thrilling historical perspective, describing its impact on America and pointing out the successes and failures of our democratic institutions.
