Fox News national reporter Major Garrett argues that the so-called Republican Revolution of 1994 reflected a political realignment in this country that made George W. Bush's election and reelection possible. The Contract with America has changed our lives in startling ways, fundamentally altering our approach to taxes, national defense, terrorism, welfare, entitlements, health care, education, abortion, gun control, and crime, among other issues. Based on exclusive interviews with more than fifty key players from both sides of the aisle, and complete with more than thirty pages of crucial, previously unpublished confidential documents, this book offers a behind-the-scenes story of how the Contract with America came into being and how it has defined American politics for a decade.
