Tom Daschle, the Majority Leader of the historic 107th Senate, presents a candid insider's account of the workings of the U.S. government during two of the most tumultuous years in the nation's history. The 107th Congress faced a time like no other in the life of the nation.

The 107th Congress And Two Historically-Important Years In 21st Century America

The most interesting parts of this book are its descriptions of the goings-on inside the Capitol while the events of September 11, 2001 were unfolding. (In a word, it was chaos.) Also little anecdotal tidbits make reading this book more than worthwhile. My favorite among these was the Senator's report that upon their initial private meeting then President-elect George W. Bush said coldly to him, "You aren't going to lie to...

Eminently readable and full of good sense

This book tells well of the two momentous years, 2001 and 2002, for most of which time the principal author was majority leader of the United States Senate. One gets a very good insight into the workings of the Senate, and the book is easy to read and full of logic and sensibleness. He explains well the reasons why he did what he did, and one finishes the book sad that South Dakota in 2004 rejected a man who had served his...

Thoughtful and insightful

Tom Daschle's memoir of the 107th Congress should ultimately be recognized as one of the best first person accounts of the critical two years following the 2000 election. Like No Other Time is an exceptionally good senatorial memoir. Daschle is a keen observer of people and of politics. Thus, his memoir is a candid and revealing look at the people and events that shaped America during two transformative years.Daschle offers...

Hadn't Expected a Book on Congress to Be This Engrossing

A lot of tension in this book. Daschle was a participant in many of the major events described here: the Gore/Bush split vote, Trent Lott's apologized-and-rightly-so racism debacle, the Jim Jeffords defection, the 9/11 attacks, the anthrax attacks on Daschle's office, the Afghanistan and Iraq war decisions, and of course the dismal Democrat election defeats of 2002. I came away from each of these chapters impressed by the...

The Senator tells it like it was!

The Senator from South Dakota gives us a great look at two very eventful years in our history, from the chair of what has to be one of the most difficult jobs in the world, the minority leader of the United States Senate. The period Senator Daschle writes about may be considered a turning point in the history of the United States, and the account, from his unique perspective, sheds much light on this troubled time. A very...
