Back cover text: “Have you lost hope that we can ever lick the hyper-partisanship that has made our politics unbearable and our nation less governable? Pull yourself back from the brink and read this practical, uplifting book by two distinguished former Senate Majority Leaders, one a conservative Republican and the other a liberal Democrat. They don’t agree on all the issues and solutions, and the rest of us won’t either, but they show how rational people of good will can come together to change today’s toxic environment. Trent Lott and Tom Daschle urge public officials and citizens alike to do better. In our own interests, we had better start meeting their challenge.”
— LARRY J. SABATO, University of Virginia Center for Politics director and author of The Kennedy Half-Century

“Trent Lott and Tom Daschle were remarkable Congressional leaders who revered the Constitution and got things done during difficult times. This timely book extends their public service by illustrating how political parties can achieve the greater good—how Congress can again work successfully and regain public confidence and support.”
— Former Senator RICHARD LUGAR

“Crisis Point delivers a powerful analysis and passionate call for change from two highly respected Senate leaders who were on the frontlines of pivotal events. Having served with Trent and Tom, I saw firsthand the force of their leadership and sheer determination to make the political process work, and here they offer a compelling template for restoring Congress’s capacity to confront our greatest challenges.”
— Former Senator OLYMPIA SNOWE

“In negotiating the bipartisan balanced budget agreement, these two remarkable leaders put aside their partisanship and simply did what they thought was right for the country. Washington needs a lot more leadership like this today. In this book these two former Senate Majority Leaders tell how this can be repeated and why it must.”
— ERSKINE BOWLES, White House Chief of Staff under President Bill Clinton
