The party whips are essential components of the U.S. legislative
system, responsible for marshalling party votes and keeping House
and Senate party members in line. In The Whips, C. Lawrence Evans
offers a comprehensive exploration of coalition building and
legislative strategy in the U.S. House and Senate, ranging from the
relatively bipartisan, committee-dominated chambers of the 1950s to
the highly polarized congresses of the 2000s. In addition to roll
call votes and personal interviews with lawmakers and staff, Evans
examines the personal papers of dozens of former leaders of the
House and Senate, especially former whips. These records allowed
Evans to create a database of nearly 1,500 internal leadership
polls on hundreds of significant bills across five decades of
recent congressional history. The result is a rich and sweeping
understanding of congressional party leaders at work. Since the
whips provide valuable political intelligence, they are essential
to understanding how coalitions are forged and deals are made on
Capitol Hill.
