"This book presents an insider's view of the process by which national policy is developed. Showing considerable knowledge and experise, Jennings (Center on Education Policy, Washington, D.C.) provides an excellent and fair picture of the political pressures and agendas that have an impact on the development of laws...it provides answers to many questions about the political process. This is an excellent book for anyone wishing to gain insight into the workings of Washington, whether it be in education or any other arena. Highly recommended..."
