国会议员戴维·普赖斯(David Price)是唯一有资格指导读者了解国会错综复杂的规则、角色和代表的人。作为一名训练有素的政治学家,他将山上的实际政治与该学科的理论联系起来。在政治似乎达到新低之际,他同样关注公共服务的伦理。通过这一切,他清楚地表达了作为国会议员所隐含的挑战、失望、喜悦和深切关注——尤其是在国家和国际局势脆弱的时候。

The Congressional Experience: An Institution Transformed, 4th Edition
Congressman David Price is uniquely qualified to guide readers through the labyrinth of rules, roles, and representatives that is Congress. As a trained political scientist, he connects the practical politics on the Hill with the theories of the discipline. He is equally focused on the ethics of public service at a time when politics seem to have reached a new low. Through it all, he conveys a clear sense of the challenges, disappointments, elations, and deep concerns implicit in serving as a member of Congress–especially at a time of national and international fragility.
