Andy Jacobs, Jr. went to the House of Representatives in 1964. He witnessed some of the major events in American history and this book records them: President Lyndon Johnson taking over for the fallen John F. Kennedy; fighting to end the Vietnam War; Civil rights legislation; President Richard Nixon's doomed Presidency. The book is full of humorous and serious anecdotes which show democracy in action and the life of a great Hoosier politician/statesman.
