Written in preeminent legislative studies scholar Richard Fenno's "homespun" story-telling style, Congressional Travels argues that authenticity -- knowing what a representative is like in his/her district, with her/his constituents and looking beyond mere roll-call voting -- contributes significantly to understanding the full body of work done by our members of Congress. This tenth anniversary edition includes an illuminating new Foreword by renowned congressional scholar Morris P. Fiorina, adding to the appreciation of Richard Fenno and this work over the years.
