James Burnham, Congress and the American Tradition (published by Transaction Publishers)

Of this book Mr. Scott Richert writes in the current issue of Chronicles:

Burnham's 1959 book Congress and the Americna Tradition is his most conservative, and most consistently underrated, work. Asked by publisher Henry Regnery, in the wake of the McCarthy hearings, to write a defense of Congress's investigatory powers (which are never mentioned in the Constitution), Burnham gave Regnery much more: a serious work of political history that revives the Framers' understanding of the nature and role of Congress and places that understanding within the Anglo-American (and more broadly European) political tradition.
