Death of the Senate - My Front Row Seat to the Demise of the World's Greatest Deliberative Body (Hardcover)

Something is rotten in the U.S. Senate, and the disease has been spreading for some time. But Ben Nelson, former U.S. senator from Nebraska, is not going to let the institution destroy itself without a fight. Death of the Senate is a clear-eyed look inside the Senate chamber and a brutally honest account of the current political reality. This book is not intended to tell old war stories, but to offer lessons for the future. It is meant to shame the current Senate to do the jobs they were elected to do. To warn Americans about the danger if they don't. Nelson understands we live in an age of "alternative realities" and "alternative facts'" and he gives readers an inside look as he walked the marble hallways alongside some of the last "lions of the Senate" - Ted Kennedy, John McCain, John Warner - legislators who understood the importance of country over party.
