A native of Beaumont, Texas, and a World War II veteran, Jack Brooks represented Texas's Ninth District for forty-two years in the U.S. Congress. One of the most influential congressmen you've never heard of, the irascible Brooks is finally getting his due in this first full biography. The Meanest Man in Congress chronicles in fascinating detail not only a remarkable lawmaker's career—spanning the tenures of ten U.S. presidents—but also the epic sweep of American history in the latter half of the twentieth century, from the Kennedy assassination to the Iran-Contra affair. Packed with anecdotes based on Brooks's personal correspondence, interviews with his peers and family members, and more, this meticulously researched biography traces the incredible life and times of a true public servant, a man who applied his tenacious will to practical, across-the-aisle governance for the good of his constituents and his country. At a time when Brooks's brand of selfless service is in short supply and American politics has become a zero-sum game, distinguished authors Timothy McNulty and Brendan McNulty bring into high relief the character of a man who knew how to compromise and bargain, negotiate and cooperate to get things done.

Something's wrong in the Emerald City.People are acting very un-Seattle-ish. They jaywalk, don't recycle, or use umbrellas. And perhaps most troubling of all, they're making eye-contact with strangers.And it's not going unnoticed.Seattle newspaper columnist Stewart Street smells a story, and is cozying up with every Northwest mover and shaker to get to the bottom of it.Gertrude, Ketchikan the Animal Man, Officer Paddy Wagon, Leroy Frump, Mr. X.R. Cize, Charlie Can Do, The Swami of Pastrami, Dingbatman, Zenobia (gasp), Miss Smith, Ggoorrsstt, Sturdly the Bookworm, the Clown himself, and of course, Boris S. Wort, the second meanest man in the world--they all play a part in the greatest crisis the city has ever known. Right up there with the Mercer Mess reconfiguration, which didn't do a damn thing.The clock is ticking, and Street hits the pavement, in a race against time. Can he crack this baffling case before the situation reaches critical mass, and rips the city apart, like a floral print romper caught between two Walmart shoppers at a Black Friday sale?Will Seattle become New York west?
