The reader experiences the full flow of American political history from Roosevelt through Reagan from the institutional perspective of the House of Representatives and through the eyes and ears of O'Neill himself and of those who knew him well, critics and supporters alike. John A. Farrell's research is prodigious, particularly the interviews with people who know what they are talking about. And he supports his conclusions with 60 pages of notes and bibliography, an invaluable resource for future scholars.Farrell, John A. is the author of 'Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century', published 2002 under ISBN 9780316185707 and ISBN 0316185701.
