Richard F. Fenno, Jr. 1926-2020

 
This engaging text by renowned author Richard Fenno argues that authenticity — knowing what a representative is like in his district and looking beyond mere roll call voting — contributes significantly to understanding the full body of work done by our members of Congress. Showcasing the author’s trademark “homespun” narrative style, Congressional Travels: Congress, Connections and Authenticity posits that the best way to gain a sense of authenticity is to observe representatives at home, with their constituents, in their districts.
