"Martin Frost and Tom Davis are uniquely qualified to
examine how constant conflict in Washington keeps too many
good things from happening. The Partisan Divide: Congress in
Crisis is a smart book that asks the right questions and
offers some intriguing solutions." — President Bill Clinton During their 40 years in Congress, Martin Frost and Tom
Davis were the field generals for their respective parties,
each serving two terms as chair of the Democratic and
Republican House campaign committees. Now they have joined
forces — along with columnist Richard Cohen — in an effort
to save Congress from itself. According to the authors, Congress is incapable of reforming
itself without a good kick in the seat from the American
public. Frost and Davis, with great insight and skill, along
with a wealth of anecdotes and photos, dissect the causes of
legislative gridlock and offer a common sense, bipartisan
plan for making our Congress function again. The Preface by Pulitzer Prize finalist David Eisenhower sets
the stage for this powerful behind-the-scenes narrative that
uncovers the past road to the present political gridlock —
and then offers thought-provoking insights and possibilities
for the way out. A wide array of Republicans, Democrats, former presidents,
and congressional colleagues, as well as many of today’s
most highly respected news correspondents and analysts, have
come together in broad, bi-partisan, consensus support for
this book and its message. The Partisan Divide: Congress in Crisis is a fascinating
"must-read" for the historically and politically curious —
as well as every citizen of the United States! "As bipartisan progress becomes ever scarcer in Washington,
Frost and Davis have come together to present
thought-provoking ideas and insights from four decades of
collective experience in Congress. In their powerful
insiders’ account of the road into political gridlock,
readers will find both the full extent of the problem and
new possibilities for a way out." — Nancy Pelosi, Democratic
Leader and 60th Speaker of the House "This book by two veteran politicians — one a Democrat and
one a Republican — shows just how broken our political
system is and how difficult it is going to be to get it back
on track." — Bob Schieffer, Moderator of Face the Nation and
Chief Washington Correspondent CBS News
