Departures on the House: How Retirements, Redistricting and Scandal Yielded a Near-Postwar Record of House Members Exiting in 1992

By Scott Crass

Book Overview

The word "change" stormed onto the political lexicon in 1992 when Democratic Presidential nominee Bill Clinton aimed to deny George H.W. Bush a second term. Often overlooked, however, is that "change" also caused a ruckus in Congress. Redistricting, a check overdraft scandal that consumed the chamber and overall frustration with the system produced a wild and woolly year that sent 110 House members into retirement or defeat. Departures On The House portrays comprehensive biographies of each of those members.
