Super Short Summary

The Dance of Legislation by Eric Redman provides an in-depth look at the intricate process of passing laws in the U.S. Congress, using specific examples like the establishment of the National Health Service Corps to elucidate the complexity. Redman argues that Congressional staff play a crucial role behind the scenes in navigating the nebulous and procedure-based system, more so than the legislators themselves. The book includes sensitive topics such as a child being struck by a car and a discussion on severe injuries caused by electric lawn mowers.
