Praise for this book

"J. Michael Martinez analyzes how Congress, one of the three co-equal branches of government, both reflects and creates history. His choice of fourteen congressional leaders offers an excellent juxtaposition of effective, yet different, paths to power. Congressional Giants will enhance our appreciation of the role of statesmanship in a democracy."
