In three parts the authors: * Explore the origins and growth of the bureaucratic state in this century * Explain how Congress works today, and how long incumbencies, huge staffs, and connections to special interest groups enable individual members to augment and maintain their power * Discuss the effects of such power in domestic and foreign policies * Focus on strategies for restoring the vital separation of powers, the cornerstone of our constitution. For Washington insiders, students of government, and all concerned citizens," The Imperial Congress "provides insightful and provocative reading.
