SUMMARY:R. Kenton Bird "Tom Foley: The Man in the Middle"
DESCRIPTION:Bird and Pierce offer the first major study of Tom Foley’s political career in this penetrating look at a unique and transformative congressional leader who focused on making Congress work by bringing politicians from both sides of the aisle together. Foley’s tenure spanned the crucial years of transition between this bipartisan ideology of governance and the politics of the twenty-first century, between the leadership styles of Democrats Jim Wright and Tip O’Neil and that of Republican Gingrich. Foley’s defeat in 1994 ended this remarkable career of leading from the middle and marked a seismic transition in the landscape of American politics. 
\nR. Kenton Bird is professor of journalism and mass media at the University of Idaho. 
\nJohn C. Pierce is affiliate professor at the University of Kansas, former dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Washington State University, and former executive director of the Oregon Historical Society
