THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Edition

Orig. Ed 1988

Description

Pages

248

From the Congressman who killed a waiter because of bad service to the most serious decisions on national policy, Currie's book offers a comprehensive and eminently readable account of two hundred years of the House of Representatives. The strength of Currie's book is its style: appealing to the general public, while at the same time offering a solid, factual history for the student and scholar. This is by far the best history of the House, offering in one volume a narrative study supplemented by a judicious selection of documents from the original sources.
